Why you need the training program for pool/spa operators:

Over the years, thousands of men and women have qualified as swimming pool and spa operators through the National Swimming Pool Foundation. Now NSPF, through updated and improved training, certifies those who pass the course as Certified Pool/Spa Operators (CPO) and gives them a permanent registration number.

The CPO seal of approval is assurance to pool and spa owners, from motels to Olympic size municipal and college pools that their facilities and their swimmers are under the supervision of trained professionals.  The CPO is trained in the most advanced techniques in safety, water chemistry, maintenance and management.

The rapid advances in know-how and technology of pool operations require constant honing of skills. With upward of 7.5 million pools of all types now in virtual daily use by millions of people, the need for qualified operators is greatoer than ever. And the need will continue to grow. Anyone supervising the operation of any kind of pool has life and health guarding responsibility/ They must keep the facility in good operational order and operate it efficiently and maintain the equipment. Only an individual with suitable training and experience is qualified to meet such responsibilites and required in Wisconsin for water attraction facilities.
