In the aquatic industry, and as swimming pool operators we are surrounded by regulations and industry best practices. Do you know the difference between the two?
Regulation can be defined as a rule or even as a directive that has been made by an authority, and is maintained by that authority. While the Industry Best Practice is when the industry, based on case studies, previous experiences, or even legal action chooses a specific direction for their policies and procedures.
If you own, manage or work in a property, facility or organization that has a public swimming pool or hot tub, you must adhere to the Alberta Public Swimming Pools Regulation and Standards. Which includes taking a swimming pool operator course level one, that has been verified by the Alberta Health and Wellness Standards. Our Swimming Pool Operator Level 1 course meets Alberta Health and Wellness Standards.
