No windows or doors have direct access to the pool area. A daily inspection log was not available for review. Furthermore, the swimming pool is not equipped with a safety pool cover that complies with ASTM International Standard F1346-23, nor is there a pool alarm installed that meets ASTM International Standard F2208, Additionally, the required safety equipment, including a life ring and a rescue pole with a body hook, was not observed.
