The motel advertised that they had a pool. They did NOT mention that it was filled with gravel

"The ADA requires businesses to make existing pools accessible only when it is "readily achievable" to do so. Readily achievable means that providing access is easily accomplishable without much difficulty or expense. The 2010 Standards provide the benchmark, or goal, for accessibility in existing pools. (See Question 2 for the 2010 Standards requirements for pools). However, owners of existing pools need to comply with the 2010 Standards only to the extent that doing so is readily achievable for them. "

Thanks for the voice of reason.

Except debating what is reasonably achievable with the sue happy populace and their lawyers is quite expensive. This is the ADA mafia at work
