SF 4712 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Use of private residential pools authorization for certified swimming classes

This bill allows homeowners to use their private residential swimming pools for certified swimming lessons when a paying guest is enrolled in a one-on-one class taught by a certified instructor. The legislation permits up to four people in the pool at once during these sessions, creating an exception to existing rules that typically restrict private pool use to non-commercial activities. By adding new definitions for certified swimming classes and instructors, the bill clarifies which organizations and programs qualify under this provision. The change directly affects homeowners who wish to conduct paid swimming lessons in their private pools and the organizations offering certified swim instruction.
