Sued if you comply, fined if you don’t

Rules published in 2010 (and with a deadline 16 March) say hotels with swimming pools and/or whirlpools must have lifts for disabled swimmers to get in and out. Fine for not obeying the federal rules can be as much as $55,000.

If someone cannot get out of the water alone or with help from a relative or other person, why get in the water to start with. “I have a right to swim.” BS. If you have to use a lift to get into the water, how do you get to the pool? Do you play slip and slide?

And … And, how far behind compliance is the first law suit by someone who got injured on the lift?
