Recommendation: Provide a rescue or shepherd?s hook and an approved flotation device at a prominent location (visible from the full perimeter of the pool) at each RWF that has a depth of 1 meter (3.3 feet) or greater. Mount these devices in a manner that allows for easy access during an emergency. Ensure the pole of the rescue or shepherd?s hook is long enough to reach the center of the deepest portion of the pool from the side plus 0.6 meters (2 feet). Ensure it is a light, strong, nontelescoping material with rounded, nonsharp ends.

Ensure the rescue or shepherd?s hook is long enough to touch the bottom center of the deepest portion of the RWF plus 0.6 meters (2 feet) as measured from the closest edge without an obstruction. This edge can only be used for measurement if someone could freely walk down both sides without an obstruction such as a waterfall, fountain, statue, etc. For a rectangular pool, ensure the shorter distance is measured from the long side of the rectangle as long as there are no obstructions. Measure the 0.6 meters (2 feet) distance from where the shepherd?s hook crosses the fill line of the RWF. Measurements can be from the edge of the tub for RWFs with a beach level.
