LPA observed the swimming pool to be surrounded by an iron rode gate that is 60 inches tall and the access gate opens away from the pool and is self-closing with a self-latching, lockable device that is no lower than 60 inches above the ground. The vertical clearance from the bottom of the enclosure to the ground is no more than 2 inches. There are no gaps in the enclosure that could allow for a sphere of 4 inches or larger to pass through. The outside surface is free of any physical characteristics that could be used as a handhold or foothold for a child to climb over. LPA also inspected the swimming pool safety equipment that is visible from the pool and available for immediate use. LPA observed a life ring that was at least 17 inches in diameter.
