Which of the following is NOT a component of an aquatic safety plan?

• A. Facility diagrams
• B. Virginia Graeme Baker Public Pool and Spa Safety Act certification
• C. Location information
• D. Physical information

Answer: (B)

An aquatic safety plan is a practical, organized guide that describes how a facility looks and operates so staff can prevent and respond to emergencies. It typically includes diagrams of the pool area to help rescuers orient themselves, location information about where safety equipment and emergency systems are placed, and physical information such as pool depth, features, and the locations of lifeguard stands and rescue equipment. The Virginia Graeme Baker Public Pool and Spa Safety Act certification, while essential for legal compliance and ensuring drain entrapment prevention features are in place, is not a component of the safety plan itself. It’s a regulatory requirement documented separately; the plan references safety standards but does not consist of the certification. So the certification is not part of the aquatic safety plan, whereas diagrams, location details, and physical information are integral to it.
