An Act amending the act of December 21, 1989 (P.L.672, No.87), known as the Health Club Act, providing for lifeguards.
This bill requires Pennsylvania health clubs with swimming pools of 1,500 square feet or larger to have at least one certified lifeguard on duty during all hours the pool is open for swimming by members and guests. A "certified lifeguard" must hold a current certification from a lifeguard training program approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. This rule directly affects health clubs operating such pools, mandating a minimum safety standard during pool hours. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment.
