RE: Lifeguard Modification for the Outdoor Swimming Pool
Dear Mr. Madru,
We will allow you to employ "qualified swimmers," in lieu of the requirement to
employ fully certified lifeguards, at your outdoor swimming pool located at the
The Breakwaters, 432 Sea Street, Hyannis, MA. This includes persons in your
pool and includes all other persons within the pool enclosure. The following
conditions must be complied with:
(1) The pool must be supervised by a "qualified swimmer" all times the pool is
open. We wish to make it clear that this swimmer must be at the pool and
cannot be observing from the desk unless another swimmer is provided
and physically present at the pool. This swimmer must be certified in
adult, child, and pediatric CPR by the American Red Cross, American
Heart Association or equivalent, be familiar with lifesaving equipment and
knowledgeable in first aid procedures. (Minimum swimmer qualification
requirements are enclosed).
(2) All qualified swimmers shall wear orange colored hats or orange colored
visors with the words "POOL STAFF" in 15 millimeter (5/8 inch) black
colored lettering on the front of the hats.
(3) The maximum capacity of the swimming pool is reduced to nineteen (19)
persons.

(4) You shall maintain a permanent record on a form prescribed by the Board
of Health listing each swimmer supervising the pool when it is in use.
(Sample of prescribed form is enclosed).
(5) You shall submit a copy of the applicant's insurance policy naming the
Town as coinsured in the amount of $1,000,000.
(6) All other regulations contained in 310 CMR 12.00, Minimum Standards for
Swimming Pools, must be strictly complied with.
(7) The qualified swimmer(s) must hold a current American Heart
Association, American Red Cross, or equivalent CPR certificates with
training in adult, child, and pediatric CPR.
(8) The swimming pool water must be tested for coliform bacteria at least
monthly by a certified laboratory.
Please be advised that if you exceed this capacity of 19 persons, your
modification will be invalid and you will be required to cease operation of the
pool.
This modification expires December 31, 2004.
Sincerely yours,
Wayne Miller M.D.
