What these findings mean
Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people using the facility. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly cause illness or injury, such as water that is not properly treated.
Pool and spa water qualityHigher risk
For pools, spas and splash pads, inspectors test disinfectant levels, pH and water clarity, and check safety equipment. Water that is not properly treated can spread skin, ear and stomach infections.
Recorded 6 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 11, 2026. For example:
Manual pool tests and records are completed.
Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk
Decks, change rooms, showers and shared equipment must be cleaned and disinfected regularly so infections such as athlete's foot and plantar warts are not passed between users.
Recorded once on September 8, 2025. For example:
Free available chlorine (FAC) sanitizer levels are maintained between 0.5 ppm - 10 ppm, or between 1 ppm - 10 ppm if stabilizer is used (except for Floatation Pools, Cold Plunge Pools & Hot Water Pools).
Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk
Pool chemicals such as chlorine and acid must be labelled, stored apart from each other and handled safely. Mixing them by mistake can release toxic gas, so storage and handling problems are treated seriously.
Recorded once on June 19, 2025. For example:
Pool test kit with proper testing chemicals is available.
Other findingsLower risk
Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.
Recorded once on August 11, 2026. For example:
Daily turnover rate is acceptable.
