where,
D =the water surface area in square metres of the part of the pool that is deeper than 1 350 mm; and
S =the water surface area in square metres of the part of the pool that is 1 350 mm in depth or less.
(2) The occupant load of a wave action pool shall be determined by the following formula:
Occupant Load = D/2.5 + S/1.1
where,
D =the water surface area in square metres of the part of the pool where the still water depth is greater than 1 000 mm; and
S =the water surface area in square metres of the part of the pool where the still water depth is 1 000 mm or less.
