section:

``SEC. 1325. TREATMENT OF SWIMMING POOL ENCLOSURES OUTSIDE OF HURRICANE 
              SEASON.

    ``In the case of any property that is otherwise in compliance with 
the coverage and building requirements of the national flood insurance 
program, the presence of an enclosed swimming pool located at ground 
level or in the space below the lowest floor of a building after 
November 30 and before June 1 of any year shall have no effect on the 
terms of coverage or the ability to receive coverage for such building 
under the national flood insurance program established pursuant to this 
title, if the pool is enclosed with non-supporting breakaway walls.''.
