CMAHC Releases Aquatic Safety Plan Template to Support Safer Facility Operations
The Council for the Model Aquatic Health Code has released a resource to support aquatic safety nationwide: the aquatic safety plan template. Designed to help aquatic venues develop or update their safety protocols, the template aligns with Section 6.3.3 of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Model Aquatic Health Code, the nation’s leading guidance on public pool health and safety.
Aquatic safety plans are critical documents that outline emergency response procedures, staff training and daily operational protocols. However, many facilities face challenges consolidating this information, which is often spread across multiple manuals and documents. CMAHC’s template offers a structured approach to organizing and updating safety procedures in a single, accessible document.
Aquatic venues are encouraged to update their plans regularly to reflect changes in staffing, operations, legislation and water features. The template is available for free download here.
