Compiling Professional 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.

A number of different details will go into each report you compile. One of the primary details involves checking the PH level in each of these pools you inspect. The water must be at the right PH level so it is not too acidic or too base, which can be dangerous to swimmers.

With that, you may need to use a special gauge that will determine the PH balance in the pools you are tasked with inspecting. The gauge will tell you if it is acidic, base, or at the right level. Once you get an accurate reading, you can have the manager or owner add chemicals as needed to balance it out and make it safe in which to swim.

The actual fixture itself may also need to be inspected closely. Damages in the lining like cracks, breaks, and holes put swimmers at risk. They could easily cut themselves or break a bone slipping on a crack or break in the lining. Your job will involve looking at it closely and determining what damages if any need to be fixed.

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.

The lining is not the only part of the pools that might suffer damages. The diving boards likewise can succumb to wear and tear after so many years. They might show signs of aging like cracks and warping. They may not sustain the weight of divers for very long and could potentially collapse when someone is trying to jump off them. You will be required to climb the ladder and get a good look for yourself.

Likewise, the life preserver and nets must also be in good condition. These fixtures are important in saving the lives of people who might not be able to swim and reach the side. The lifeguards use them to retrieve people going under and also to bring people safely to the side so they can climb out of these pools. If they are broken, they are not going to be of any use to the lifeguards.

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.
