Did you know that, in Texas, all public swimming pools and spas have to be under the supervision and direction of a properly trained and certified operator? (The operator does not have to be on-site when the pool/spa is open. The operator can be responsible for multiple pools/spas at multiple locations. The operator's name and contact information must be available on-site.)

Swimming pool and spa operators are obligated to provide clean and safe facilities for public use. Proper training is essential to the operation of a safe pool/spa. Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children under the age of five. Diseases can be spread by swimming in improperly treated water.

The Certified Pool & Spa Operator® (CPO®) certification program is the world’s leading education and certification program for keeping pools safer and keeping them open.
