SWIMMING POOL STANDARDS

By FREDERICK W. LUEHRING, PH.D.

Professor of Physical Education, University of Pennsylvania Member,
National Collegiate Swimming Rules Committee. Introduction by Jesse
Feiring Williams, M.D.

Dr. Williams says in his Introduction “There is
no longer need for those who build pools to con-
tinue the errors of construction that have occurred
so frequently nor for those who administer them
to fail in important sanitary and educational con-
siderations.” The author, in the preparation of his
book, has literally covered thousands of sources

from ancient to modern times, has visited hun-

 

dreds of pools, in order to present standards that
will help to solve the problems of swimming pool planning, construc-
tion, administration and law observance. His experience as participant,
official, coach, teacher, administrator, member of the National Rules
Committee, adviser on swimming pool planning and construction is
evident in the scholarly treatment of the subject. He features the swim-
ming pool primarily as a facility for health, physical education and

recreation.

Of particular importance is the author's analysis of swimming pool
laws, state and local board of health rules and regulations together

with suggestions for their improvement.

The Edition is limited to one thousand copies and the type has been

distributed.
