The Aquatic Facility Operator (AFO) certification is the only course approved by the National Parks and Recreation Association for swimming pool operations.

About the Certification

The AFO program provides the most comprehensive and up-to date training for pool operators and includes information on water chemistry, disinfection, mechanical systems, operations, healthy pools and safety.  The certification is renewable after five years and intended for Aquatic Supervisors, Directors, Facility Managers or anyone directly responsible for the Aquatic Facility.   AFO is the only course that offers Continuing Education Units (CEUs) that are often required by some facilities.
