Pool Director Certification Course (Saturday, April 6, 2024 from 12pm-4pm)
Cost: $99/member - $139/non-member
**Cost does not include the online course purchased directly through the American Red Cross**
This course is an APPROVED program per the New Jersey Department of Health to meet the requirement for pools larger than 2,000 square feet to have the designated adult supervisor possessing the pool director training certification.
Certification requires 2 separate classes – the completely online and self-paced Lifeguard Management program conducted by the American Red Cross, and the Pool Director Certification conducted by NJRPA (in person on Saturday, April 6 from 12pm-4pm). We’re grateful to our past Aquatics Section Chair, Alex Sperling, for facilitating this Pool Director Certification Course for us.
The course is designed to prepare aquatic professionals to effectively manage lifeguards and help keep patrons, staff, and facilities safe. This certification also applies to spray parks that have recirculated water systems and have been identified by the state to meet all the same requirements as a public bathing facility under N.J.A.C. 8:26. The certification is valid for two years. Topics covered include general pool director knowledge, filtration and pool requirements, water chemistry and water testing, New Jersey Public Recreational Bathing Code (PRB NJAC 8:26) Interpretation, supervision and staff training, and injury and drowning prevention.
All participants must register for the Pool Director Course on the NJRPA Website in addition to purchasing the online training (see below).
