What information must be posted at the emergency telephone?

Posting the emergency dial number 911 and the physical address at the emergency telephone is essential for ensuring rapid response in case of an emergency. This information allows patrons to quickly reach emergency services without having to remember or find the phone number and ensures that first responders know the correct location to dispatch assistance.

In situations involving pool-related accidents or emergencies, every second counts. Having this critical information readily available helps facilitate immediate action by the individual using the emergency telephone, which can significantly improve the outcome of the situation.

Other options do not provide necessary information for emergencies in the same way. Posting pool hours of operation, for example, is useful information for operations but does not support emergency response needs. Likewise, instructions to call 411 pertain to directory assistance and are not relevant in life-threatening situations, where direct access to 911 is crucial. Listing names of pool staff, while potentially relevant in other contexts, does not aid in emergency response and could divert attention from the immediate need for assistance.
