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.
