Pool SchoolAll public swimming pools must be maintained by a certified operator to maintain acceptable sanitary conditions and to minimize the possibility of a waterborne disease outbreak. The person who is directly responsible for the pool operation is required to complete a training course known as Pool School. This course must be conducted or approved by the Florida Department of Health in Sarasota County. The course covers basic pool water chemistry, filter system operation and maintenance, and general swimming pool sanitation.
