Quality Pool
Quality Pool was developed by Recreation Aotearoa in partnership with Water Safety New Zealand. Targeted at private swimming pools such as holiday parks, gyms, retirement villages, seasonal pools, hotels and motels, and schools, Quality Pool works as a self-review of an aquatic environment. Benchmarking against specific standards the programme is conducted via a user-friendly online system – gone are the days of paper filing and manila folders. The standards encompass risk assessment and management, pool water quality, supervision, emergency procedures, signage, and health and safety. The programme allows operators to review their pool or pools through one simple assessment system. Currently there are 16 accredited Quality Pools in NZ, including school pools, Council paddling pools and retirement village pools.
