Pool FAQs

May 15, 2020 Patrick Reagan

Maintaining social distancing in a pool is naturally quite difficult.  Thus, exercise of great caution should be exercised when deciding whether to reopen one.  Not only are there different legal restrictions in different jurisdictions, insurance coverage may vary.  You should seek legal counsel before making a decision.  Regarding states’ restrictions, below are the restrictions currently in place in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana on the opening of pools.

Ohio

The state has announced that pools may reopen on May 26 with social distancing protocols in place.  That includes limiting capacity in the pool such that patrons will be able to remain 6 feet apart from each other.  https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2020/05/14/heres-when-ohios-gyms-pools-campgrounds-and-sports-leagues-can-open/5192761002/

Kentucky

The state has not announced an opening date for recreational pools.  Pools used solely for exercise, however, may open June 1.  https://www.wlky.com/article/pools-used-for-exercise-training-can-reopen-june-1-still-no-date-for-public-pools/32503024#

Indiana

Swimming pools in all but 3 counties in Indiana may reopen on Friday, May 22, under phase 3 of the state’s reopening plan.  Pools in the three remaining counties – Marion, Lake, and Cass – may reopen starting June 1.  Upon reopening, swimming pools must maintain social distancing practices.  https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/most-of-indiana-to-move-to-next-phase-of-reopening-plan-friday-holcomb-says/2275333/ https://www.in.gov/gov/files/Executive%20Order%2020-28%20(Reopen%20Stage3).pdf
