Can anybody tell me if there is a new law requiring pools to be locked up when not in use?
Our community pool area has a pathway running through it which is used by half the community to access the restranunt, and bars.  If there is a new law, would it apply in this case?
and what are other communities doing that have pathways through their pool area?

Dear Geoff,

This depends on local regulations. It is not the same in Andalucia region than in Alicante region, for example.

I guess a solution to your situation, in case there is this rule affecting your pool would be to fence around water areas, or have permanent vigilation, which may then mean that you do not need this fencing.

Regards

Thank you all for your replies.

Mariadecastri: No its not a pook based community. We have about 80 dwellings arranged around a central plaza which used to be commercial with different shop types, but now only has bars and a restraunt. To the southern side of the Plaza is the swimming pool through whch those with properties on the southside pass to get to the bars.

Karensun:   It would be difficult for anybody to fall in the pool from the pathway, and it has not happened in the 20 yrs we have been there.

Abolex:  That seems to confirm its not an EC rule or a Spanish rule so I will check if its an Andalucian rule.

Thanks again for your assistance.
Geoff
