Under what condition may animals be allowed on the pool deck?

The condition that allows animals on the pool deck is when they are trained to assist individuals with medical conditions. This is in line with regulations regarding service animals, which are specifically defined as dogs that are individually trained to perform tasks for people with disabilities. These tasks can include guiding individuals who are visually impaired, alerting those who are deaf, or providing assistance during a medical crisis.

While service animals may be allowed on the pool deck to assist their owners, it is important to understand that not all animals qualify as service animals. Just having a pet or an untrained animal, regardless of whether they are on a leash or under supervision, does not meet the standards for being allowed in such areas. This ensures the safety, hygiene, and comfort of all pool users, including those with disabilities who may rely on trained service animals.
