SMART Pool Operations
Develop a strategy to protect swimmers

By Connie Sue Centrella

Strategy denotes a carefully developed, long-term plan or method of action designed to achieve a winning goal. It makes problems easier to understand and then solve. In aquatic facilities, having a strategy in place helps us understand all aspects of the facility, and how to manage it effectively. This is key to providing a safe and healthy environment for the patrons.

Even the most responsible aquatic manager and operator cannot maintain a facility without a written plan, a roadmap of how all the processes within the facility will operate in the most effective, safe and efficient manner. 

The type of facility will determine the depth of the written plan. Each facility has its own set of variables--volume of water, type and function of filtration, circulation requirements and, most importantly, chemical parameters. The goals and objectives of a municipal pool are quite different from those of an aquatic play feature facility.
