Aquatic facilities are frequently challenged to safely manage their pools and spas in the face of recurrent employee turnover and part time help during the summer months.

It isn’t just lifeguards enforcing a “no running by the pool” policy that helps to keep aquatic facilities safe.

In addition to enforcing common rules and regulations that swimmers have come to know for years, your part-time summer aquatic facility staff should have an in-depth understanding of the proper handling and use of pool chemicals in order to maintain a safe operation.

Pool season doesn’t simply begin on Memorial Day. It takes weeks of dedicated preparation to ensure aquatic facilities are in good operating order once the pool cover is removed.

While it’s paramount to ensure that your water is properly chlorinated and your staff is properly trained, it’s just as important to make sure other tasks aren’t being overlooked.
