Does your facility require higher limits of insurance than the general liability program offers? We offer an additional Excess Liability option to supplement your coverage. When purchased in conjunction with the general liability policy, excess liability increases the policy limit to $5,000,000.00 per occurrence and $8,000,000 in the aggregate.

POOL PREMISES: If you own your pool facility or occupy a unit which you have completed tenant improvements/renovations or the only occupant of a leased facility, RMS can offer Pool Premises Liability for an additional premium. This covers you for claims not related to the swim lessons liability since there is an increase in exposure.

POOL MANAGEMENT: If you use a facility that also requires you to provide Lifeguard services and/or general facility clean up and/or control of chemicals on a regulard basis and/or Equipment maintenance (this must be hired out, you are not covered to perform any equipment repair or replacement) this coverage is needed. Managing a facility that is not owned by you is a higher level of risk, we strongly suggest this coverage is purchased.

• Schools or clubs that have responsibility of operating a facility or have their own facility:
• All facilities must have a certified pool operator on staff or hire an outside CPO service (Certified Pool/Spa Operator designation obtained by passing the course and test produced by the National Swimming Pool Foundation)
• Scheduling of pool time for other organizations, lap swimming or open swims at leased facilities where they are required by contract. Organizations scheduling pool time should provide an additional insured certificate naming your club.
• Documented pool chemistry checks must be performed as required by the local health department.
• Procedures must be in place for closing and returning a pool to use following a fecal/contaminating incident
• A written emergency response plan must be in place to cover all foreseeable incidents, near drowning, release or spill of chemicals, medical emergency, fire, severe weather, etc.
• Minimum staffing levels for the facility must be in place prior to opening the facility (facility manager, assistant manager/operations/maintenance manager, lifeguard or lifeguard certified instructors that must be present to properly manage and operate the facility).
• All pool equipment and mechanical components must meet NSF and ANSI standards
• The facility must have and maintain a current operating permit from the local AHJ
• If insured is operating or managing a facility they do not own, a written contract must be in place clearly stating the responsibilities of the swim school and the owner of premises. It must also state that exposures related to the insured school activities will only be covered..
• Signage highlighting Pool Rules must clearly be posted at facility
• No liquor allowed at facility

Cyber Liability coverage is becoming more and more of a necessity in today’s e-commerce and online world. Cyber liability insurance protects small businesses from the high cost of data breach and computer software attacks. Many small businesses utilize industry available software to run their business. Unfortunately, those systems carry very little in the way of cyber protection. Most small businesses that have experienced an attack usually go out of business shortly thereafter due to the high cost of recovery and damage to their reputation. Cyber liability offers coverage to help with those recovery expenses such as, client credit monitoring, attorney’s fees, and fines to name a few. RMS has an affordable Cyber Liability program to help you manage this exposure. Speak with one of our representatives about details.
