Pool and Spa Operator
Given the multiplicity of contaminating sources, ensuring a pool’s water is clean, safe and stable can be a very demanding and difficult task. In order to help aquatic facility managers and operators maintain an irreproachable water quality, the Lifesaving Society has assembled the most solid team of trainers in the whole province.
These experts offer the Lifesaving Society Pool and Spa Operator course, which allows you to:
- identify the main water and air contaminants, as well as appropriate treatments;
- save up on chemicals;
- understand how a filtration system’s main components function;
- review regulations and requirements regarding the exploitation of a swimming pool, wading pool, spa, waterpark, beach or water games;
- participate in a discussion group to discuss and resolve issues faced by pool and spa operators;
- meet the Quebec government’s Regulation respecting water quality in swimming pools and other artificial pools (Q-2, r. 39).
This course can be offered to specific groups on demand. For more information: flepine@sauvetage.qc.ca.
