I bet the hotels will decide to close the pools—and they may never reopen them. Pools are expensive to maintain and costly from an insurance standpoint.

Now if you start putting in lifts so disabled people can use them, the liability insurance costs could go through the roof once underwriters start reviewing the issue.

Goodbye resort hotels. Goodbye Mom and Pop Motel 6s.

I'll bet most of them close the pool and fill it up with dirt. When traveling in Florida, I noticed it was common for families who lived in the area of the hotel where I was staying for business to rent a room for the weekend to give the "kids" an opportunity to use the pool. In retrospect, it is smarter than owning a pool at home. I've done that. Did all the work to put the damn thing into my dad's yard, then was advised by the doctor to stay out of the water due to sinus problems.

I hope the hotel owners with the closed pools put up signs mentioning how the federal legislators, judges, and trial lawyers, and disabled shakedown artists worked together to shut down the pools.

If the handicapped require such devices to get in the pools, they are clearly limited in their ability to get OUT. Now pool may need 24x7 life guards capable of handling the handicapped.
Insurance risks and lawsuit risks may turn those pools into gardens.
