Creating Municipal Swimming Pool Reports

By Donna Murray


Cities that offer recreational facilities for residents are tasked with making sure they stay safe and intact at all times. They cannot risk the liability of someone getting hurt or sickened when using one of these facilities found within the city limits. To keep them safe and free from risks, city inspectors often will compile swimming pool reports and other documentation on a regular basis. When you are tasked with this job, you can perform it satisfactorily by knowing what criteria to look at during the inspection.

The PH level in the water can harm a person if it is too acidic or too base. It has to hover at the right balance between the two so people's skin does not get burned or irritated. When the water is too far on either side of the PH scale, pools may have to be shut down.

The city you work for will give you a special gauge that will read the acidity or base level of the water. Based on its findings, you will know whether to recommend more chlorine or salt being added to the water. You can then recheck it as often as needed to make sure it is safe for swimmers and others who come to enjoy the facility.

People can likewise get hurt by swimming in pools that are damaged. The linings in particular are susceptible to damages like cracks, tear, holes, and more. The damages affect the safety and integrity of this fixture and put the safety of swimmers at risk.

Once the damages are found, you can order them to be repaired immediately. You may give the manager or owner a week or more to get the problems addressed. You will then come back out for another inspection to make sure the work has been finished to your satisfaction.

Other fixtures around the pools also could be inspected at the same time. The diving board, for instance, has to be intact in order to support the weight of the swimmers. If it is loose or has cracks in it, it could break off and hurt the person who was using it. Your job will involve actually climbing up there and taking a closer look at it yourself.

The last features you could inspect are the life preservers and the nets used to retrieve people who are potentially drowning. When they do not surface or cannot tread water, swimmers often need help getting to the side of this fixture. This equipment is crucial in saving lives and preventing disasters from occurring. They have to be in good condition at all times in order to work properly.

These facets are some of the details that could go into reports you make up for reports for the city that employs you. The swimming pool safety is left up to you. The basis of your report will determine whether or not the pools can stay open and how safe they are for people to swim in. The report could be made up on a regular basis or as often as ordered by your employer.
