Swimming Pools and Bathing Places
Swimming Pools
The Miami-Dade County Health Department conducts yearly routine inspections
of more than 3300 public and commercial pools and public bathing places
in Miami-Dade County. Pool Operator certification classes are provided
to commercial, pubic and private pool operators. This certification
is mandatory by Miami-Dade County ordinance and state regulations.
The program staff also investigates safety and health complaints,
and issues construction permits for acuatic facilities.
For more information
about pools and the program, please visit the State of Florida website.
