The THEORETICAL PEAK OCCUPANCY shall be calculated by dividing the surface area in square feet of the AQUATIC VENUE by the density factor (D) that fits the specific AQUATIC VENUE being considered.
THEORETICAL PEAK OCCUPANCY = AQUATIC VENUE surface area / D
The density factors (D) are:
Water/bather-related:
1) FLAT WATER density factor = 20 ft2 (1.9 m2) per BATHER.
2) AGITATED WATER density factor = 15 ft2 (1.4 m2) per BATHER.
3) HOT WATER density factor = 10 ft2 (0.9 m2) per BATHER.
4) WATERSLIDE LANDING POOL density factor = manufacturer-established capacity at any given time.
5) INTERACTIVE WATER PLAY water density factor = 10 ft2 (0.9 m2) per BATHER on surface.
Non-water/PATRON-related
6) DECK density factor = 50 ft2 (4.6 m2) per BATHER.
7) Stadium seating density factor = 6.6 ft2 (0.6 m2) per BATHER.
