Pool Manager

A Pool Manager is responsible for managing the operation of one of the City swimming pool facilities and associated aquatics programs.

Employees in this class supervise and evaluate staff in the pool operation during the aquatics season. Incumbents determine staff necessary for the supervision of pool activities, including preparing work schedules and assigning

personnel to duty stations, observing pool attendance, adding, or shifting Lifeguards to ensure proper

coverage, and overseeing and monitoring timekeeping.

Work involves replenishing supplies as needed, directing, or conducting in-service training activities, checking pool water for proper temperature and purity, and making or requesting changes in chemical additives. Monitoring the performance of staff engaged in lifeguarding and giving swimming lessons is an important aspect of the work, as incumbents are expected to take corrective action in dealing with unacceptable practices.

Duties also involve: teaching courses in Lifeguard training and water safety instruction; training volunteers; maintaining records; preparing reports on pool activities and operation; directing the cleaning, general operation, and maintenance of pool facilities; implementing special events and ensuring proper customer service. Employees also provide input for consideration of changes or modifications in policies, procedures, programs, and solutions to problems involving municipal pools.
