The Aquatic Play Feature™ Handbook provides guidance on how to operate and manage facilities that have waterpark-type features.
Aquatic play features have migrated from waterparks to all types of pools and facilities. Based on recent reports, aquatic play features can complicate management and operations.
This new handbook published by the NSPF® is written as a stand-alone training manual that provides a focused resource that will help professionals reduce risk in and around these popular entertainment features. The APF™ Handbook also builds on the fundamental information in the Certified Pool/Spa Operator® certification program and the Pool Operator Primer™ online training program.
