Depth markers and NO DIVING markers must be installed in accordance with Section 454.1.2.3.

454.1.10.1.5

The pool ladder must have a 3 to 6 inch (76 to 152 mm) clearance from the pool wall. New cross-braced ladder(s) shall be installed in place of noncross-braced ladder(s) in conformance with Section 454.1.2.5.1 during a pool resurfacing.
