As of September 30, 2024, the total number of passing pools is 397, with a pass tate of 92.11%. The SA has asked the local governments to continue to track the listed pools.

To ensure the safety of swimming pools for the public, the Sports Administration (SA) writes to local governments every year to request they conduct inspections of public and private swimming pools within their area of jurisdiction in accordance with the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) and swimming pool management regulations to protect the rights and interests of sports consumers. The inspection results of public and private swimming pools for 2024 were announced on October 24, with average passing rate of 92.11%.

The SA stated that except for the Nantou County and Penghu County governments that did not report the initial and re-inspection results within the prescribed time limit, and Taipei City Government which has not yet responded with the re-inspection results, all other local governments have completed their reporting. Regarding the results of the 2024 inspection of "public and private swimming pools", local governments reported a total of 481 swimming pools for inclusion in the inspection, of which 32 have closed, 16 have suspended operations, and 4 had not yet opened at the time of the inspection. The actual number of pools subject to initial inspection was 429 (an increase of 44 compared with the previous year), of which 367 pools passed and 62 failed for some items.

Various local governments have conducted re-inspections on pools that failed inspection and which were unopened. As of September 30, 2024, there were still 2 pools that had not opened for re-inspection, therefore, 64 pools were actually inspected during re-inspection (including 62 businesses that failed in the initial inspection and 2 operators that had opened at the time of re-inspection), of which 30 operators passed and 34 still failed; therefore, the total number of passing pools is currently 397, with a pass rate of 92.11%. The SA has asked local governments to continue to track the listed pools and report for delisting after improvements are completed.

Among the failed items in this year's "swimming pool" inspection, "the sanitation of swimming pools, wading pools and other ancillary pools does not meet the standards set by the health authorities" had the most violations. For operators that failed inspection, the SA has written to the local governments to require the operators to make improvements within a time limit in accordance with Article 36 of the Consumer Protection Act. If the operators' violations seriously endanger the lives, health or property of consumers, the operators can be required to immediately suspend business; if the operator fails to improve within the deadline, a fine shall be imposed in accordance with Article 58 of the same act, and continuous tracking will be provided to guide the operator to improve.

For operators that have not improved in the previous year, in addition to requesting local governments to list them as priority inspection and guidance targets for this year, if pools fail to pass the assessment for two consecutive years and have not improved as required, the local government is also required to comply with consumer protection regulations and relevant self-government ordinances to ensure the sports safety for people when using sports venues.

In addition to the completed inspections of public and private swimming pools, local governments are now implementing three inspections: the "Standardized Contract for Recruiting Members of Fitness Centers", the "Standardized Contract for Fitness Instructor Course Services" and the "Gift Certificates Issued by Sports Venue Operators". It is expected that the reporting will be completed before the end of October. The SA will summarize the inspection results and publish the various inspection reports of sports venues on the SA website before the end of January next year (2025) (path: Home/Unit Business/ Sports facilities/inspection announcement information); the public can check it under the“inspection announcement information” item . It is also recommended that before going to public or private sports venues for swimming, consumers first visit the SA website to confirm whether it is a qualified operator to protect their own rights and interests, and fully enjoy the health and happiness brought by exercise.
