Swimming Pool regulations

Just wondering if anyone knows if licensed home daycares can have a swimming pool. I know that the regulations were recently changed so that there was to be no access to a swimming pool or open body of water but what does that mean?
thanks!

sorry i should clarify that i am in ontario. thanks!

I am guessing that if you have a pool, it must have a legally approved fence around it and of course safety locks. Perhaps google pool safety fencing in ON

A lot of municipalities added their own requirements too. I was under the impression that pools were banned period from licensed homes.

I thought so too, Playfelt.

I heard that as well. I didn't want to be licensed anyway, but since we have a pool, I was told I wouldn't be able to be. I was so relieved when my insurance company didn't give me a hard time about it!

I was also able to get insurance without an issue, Treeholm. I am pretty sure that I've if the safety regulations the ministry will implement will be to disallow providers with pools to operate hime daycares. What do you think?

After the incident in Ottawa where a child drowned, I have no doubt that I will no be permitted to continue my daycare once the legislation passes. Which is okay, because I would have to get rid of all my paying clients anyway. I have 5 under two, and two of them are my non-paying grandchildren, who are the only ones I could keep LOL

I agree, treeholm. I am quite sure that a swimming pool will be considered a safety hazard. So are you okay with potentially having to close?

I have a hot tub I wonder that means for me
