Managing a Waterpark: From an Owner's Point of View Among all the swimming facilities, waterpark is the most demanding one as it is the most visited facility type. The demand for maintenance is high and safety measures need to be top-notch. Mainly, waterparks comply with the government safety rules & regulations. They also need a team of qualified and skilled staff that keep the safety check constantly. Pool management companies handle facility related issues so owners do not face inconvenience. The duty of such groups include regular inspection on safety and maintenance by following a set of professional & internal guidelines.

As safety is the topmost priority, the lifeguard service is required to be exemplary. The lifeguard training program is a set formal training modules which an individual lifeguard must complete in order to get authorisation certificate. The records state that most of the hazards occur in or near the swimming pool so the lifeguard must be proficient and trained enough to react quickly. The expected duties include performing general first-aid, briefing of safety rules to the patrons, management of the users, reacting to emergencies & hazards, etc.


They are also required to perform occasional security audits so as to make sure that the safety standards are up-to-date and the swimmers are well briefed about the safety rules & ethics. Some pool management groups may also include swimming lessons in the services offered which are often free of charges. You can hire dedicated pool cleaning company or pool management company for your facility, but some of the pool management groups such as USA management offers combined set of services that include the maintenance as well as safety services. The services are not restricted to only waterpark management but also extend to beach, commercial or private pool and resort management etc. USA management essentially comprises of skilled lifeguards and managing staff that are certified and possess legal documents of practice by the government. The maintenance team not only performs a regular inspection of your facility but also brings to your knowledge various waterpark related do's and don’ts. Before hiring professionals, you should make sure that the group holds enough experience and legal authority by the government. Also, perform a history check of the business and ask for reviews.
