The training focuses on maintaining water quality, managing filtration systems, and ensuring the safety of swimmers. While specific training programs may vary between countries, here are some general topics typically covered: 

• Water chemistry: Understanding the principles of water balance, pH levels, disinfection methods (such as chlorine or bromine), and maintaining water chemistry parameters. 
• Filtration systems: Learning about different types of filtration systems, including sand, cartridge, or diatomaceous earth filters, and how to operate and maintain them. 
• Pool circulation and water flow: Understanding the importance of proper water circulation to prevent dead spots and ensure that there is even distribution of chemicals. 
• Water testing and analysis: Conducting regular water tests using appropriate test kits and understanding how to interpret the results to maintain safe, balanced water conditions. 
• Pool safety and risk management: Implementing safety protocols, including signage, depth markings, lifeguard duties, emergency procedures, and compliance with local regulations. 

• Maintenance and troubleshooting: Regular cleaning, maintenance, and inspection of pool equipment, pumps, valves, heaters, and identifying and addressing potential issues. 
• Energy efficiency: Strategies for optimising energy usage, reducing water wastage, and implementing sustainable practices in pool operations. 
• Legal and regulatory requirements: Familiarising oneself with local regulations, health codes, and safety standards related to pool operation and ensuring compliance. 

The training typically includes a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical hands-on experience. It may be offered as a certification program or as part of ongoing professional development for individuals responsible for the operation and management of school and commercial swimming pools and aquatic facilities. The specific requirements and certification process may vary between countries or regions, so it’s advisable to consult the relevant local authorities or training providers for relevant and current information.
