The procedure concerns actions that must be taken by the operator of a swimming pool within tourist establishments before the swimming pool starts operating. The notification procedure has replaced the issuing of a permit to operate a bathing pool. Swimming pools within tourist accommodation establishments operate legally after the submission of a notification of operation. The required control of the legal operation of swimming pools shall be carried out a posteriori by the competent authorities.
