Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the health and safety of indoor pools in Guilan province and compare it with national and international standards.Methodology: It was a descriptive survey and 21 indoor pools of 29 pools in Guilan province were studied. To collect data, a structured checklist including 116 items was used. Descriptive statistics and one sample t-test were used to test the hypothesis at P≥ 0.05.Results: The results showed that the score of health and safety of toilets as well as the health of locker rooms, showers, and inner courtyard of pools were significantly higher than the mean value (p<0.05) and were close to the standards. On the other hand, the safety of locker rooms and showers, inner courtyard, disabled facilities, and safety and rescue devices were significantly lower than the mean value (p<0.05) and did not befit the existing standards.Conclusion: Overall, the health, safety and staffing of indoor pools in Guilan province differed from national and international standards. We hope that the health and safety of these pools would increase with more attention of the officials.

Abstract Objective: The present study was an attempt to rank the fitness clubs of Rasht in terms of safety employing MCDM. Methodology: The research was descriptive-comparative study; so, the data were collected using by a researcher-made checklist including 123 safety factors.The sample was consisted of all the fitness clubs in Rasht. The sample was equal with the population due to the low level of overall size. Thus, forty-four clubs were analyzed. This is a descriptive-comparative study; the data was collected contributing a researcher-made checklist including one hundred and twenty-three safety factors using field research. To analyze the data, the researcher used Shannon Entropy as well as TOPSIS contributing EXCEL Software. Results: Considering the safety factor, the highest rank went to clubs of A5 (Ci= =0.86) while the lowest one with Ci= 0.06 went toA27. Conclusion: Ranking the sport places as a product through MCDM can provide the customers with the opportunity to have the best choice. On the other hand, the providers will have the chance to remove the weak points either to improve or confirm the position of the product considering the given rank.
