Practical Pool Management Plus
Why not take the pool operator course from the professionals who wrote the book?!
This program is specifically designed to meet or exceed
pool operator training requirements for all 50 states
and includes information on international standards for public pool
operations.
This state-of-the-art program incorporates multimedia technologies to enhance the learning process.
Developed and taught by the author and editor of The Complete Swimming Pool Reference (2nd Edition), Practical Pool Management Plus moves beyond traditional calculations and mathematics to provide the pool operator or manager not only the basics of pool operations but also a comprehensive look at managing an aquatic facility.
Participants who need certification to meet local (or state) health code requirements are eligible to take the PPM examination. Those who pass the written exam with a minimum score of 70% will receive a certificate suitable for framing and will be entered into a database of pool managers certified through Aquatic Safety Research Group. Certification must be renewed every five years.

Hosting a PPM+ Program
For information on hosting a Practical Pool Management Plus
workshop in your area, contact Aquatic Safety
Research Group today! At the
current time, classes are only scheduled at the request of a host
facility. Host facilities are asked to provide a
training location and help with media releases and promotion in the
local area.
We are also able to work with your state's health department to have
PPM+ approved as a program which meets or
exceeds training programs such as the Certified Pool Operator
course offered through the National Swimming Pool Foundation and the
Aquatic Facility Operator program offered by the National Recreation and
Park Association.
