  • Ready access is required to adequate change facilities for clients/patients and staff, including accessible showers and toilets.
  • Emergency call points may be wall mounted and/or ceiling-suspended depending on the staffing model and local operational policies.
  • Appropriate storage for aids and equipment will be required separately to the storage of pool maintenance equipment and chemicals.
  • Depth 0.9m to 1.5 m with gradual slope. Depth at deep end may be reduced if paediatric use is likely to be frequent.
  • Ramp access and stair access to be provided with handrails. Pool handrails are required and are not to be recessed. All stainless steel railing to be chlorine resistant.
  • Temperature of water to be 33-34 degrees. Temperature of air to be no more than 6 degrees below water temperature.
  • Wet deck - single channel.
  • Water to be earthed.
  • Internal pool surface and pool surrounds shown as tiled. Tiles or other suitable surface to be non-slip; ensure a high level of slip resistance to tiles on the ramp (vertical surfaces of tiling do not need to be slip resistant).
  • Pool blanket is optional for insulation for energy conservation.
  • Hydraulic hoist may be required; weight rating to be confirmed at project level to suit service requirements.
  • Underwater pressure jets for therapeutic purposes are optional.
  • Departmental planning to provide external windows is recommended.
  • Disinfection system to be advised by expert consultant.
  • Pool may be made available to the community after-hours and on the weekends. Careful consideration will need to be given to location, controlled access and security.
