Does anyone know the requirements for the maximum size of the community swimming pool before requiring a lifeguard.
We are altering our community pool and are getting conflicting advice. We wish to discontinue the need for the expense of a lifeguard and toilets, as our pool is proving very expensive to run just for a couple of months a year.

I thought it was covered here but seems relevant page isn't there.  Should be Chapter 111 section 25 lifeguards.

Regulations regarding the need of a lifeguard in a pool are regional. If your development is in Andalucia:

LIFEGUARDS for ANDALUCIA POOLS

 

Every collective use pool with a water surface greater than 200m2 must have lifeguard services. The lifeguards must have the official certificate for life guarding. The number of lifeguards will be required as follows:

A) One lifeguard for pools from 200 to 500 m2 of water surface.

b) Two lifeguards for pools from 500 to 1000 m2 of water surface.

c) For pools bigger than 1000 m2 of water surface, one lifeguard will be added for every vessel or 500 m2 of water surface

Regardless what is stated above, if the separation between pools does not allow an efficient watchfulness, a lifeguard will be required for each pool as a minimum.
