Every swimming pool in the City and the premises upon which the swimming pool is located shall be enclosed by a fence at least forty-two inches in height, and constructed so as to prevent access to such pool by small children. As an alternative, a swimming pool may be equipped with a cover which may be securely fastened and locked and which shall be of sufficient strength to support the weight of an adult.
At all times when a swimming pool is not in use, the gates in such fence shall be kept locked or a securely fastened cover shall be kept over the pool.
Freestanding above-ground pools with sides not less than forty-eight inches high, from the ground on which it rests, shall not require additional fencing, insofar as the side of the pool itself constitutes a barrier, equal to a fence, and ladders used to enter the pool shall be removed when not in use.
