4.6 Accessibility
4.6.1 General The risk of drowning for children (especially under 5 years) is
high and reasonably predictable, either during the bathing
period or at other times. Therefore it is recommended for

- install a protection device; and
- keep the children under constant supervision.
For pools relying on a specific means of egress such means
shall not be removed when the pool is in use.
