The development of pool provision standards determines the number of pools that a community could reasonably support. These standards are not universal as each community is different and the use of pools differs due to design, accessibility, transportation, amenities, age and cleanliness amongst other factors. The provision standards are usually listed in the facilities section of the master planning document. The facilities section of the master plan will also recommend as to whether the community should be developing new facilities or refurbishing the existing supply of pools or utilize both approaches.
