In Colorado, swimming pool owners and operators are required to follow certain rules to keep swimmers safe. These rules, as well as general childcare standards, can also apply to daycares and summer camps where swimming is one of the activities for the children under their supervision. Our knowledgeable Boulder swimming pool accident lawyers know that the standards for keeping swimmers safe are found in a variety of sources such as local building codes, Colorado’s state regulations, and in supervision standards for the childcare, recreation, and education industries.

Establishing safe swimming pool rules, regulations, and standards is important in swimming pool accident cases because it shows what actions were reasonable for the swimming pool owner, or daycare or summer camp operator, to keep the swimmers safe. For example, in a summer camp scenario, a safe pool can depend on the size of the pool, the number of swimmers in the pool, and the number of adults supervising the children or adults with special needs. When a camp operator has less than the required number of adults needed to keep the swimming pool environment safe, our Boulder swimming pool accident attorneys know that it violates safety rule and the camp can be held responsible if an accident occurs. Another rule to look at is whether the swimming pool owner clearly posted the proper capacity of the swimming pool, and if not, the owner or operator may be liable as well. Each case presents a unique set of circumstances that a good Boulder swimming pool accident lawyer can properly investigate and analyze.
