Testimonials
Roy – I want to thank you for the information you provide in your pool operator course. One of the key things you pointed out was to have a licensed electrician check the pool grounding and bonding for any electrical issues. We did have major issues and because what we took away from the class it may have helped save many lives. Take care my friend.

I have taken 3 pool operators classes before, and found yours to be far and away the best and most effective of all that I have experienced. Thanks again for your help.
