# Certified pool operator

A term used when buying swim school.

Minnesota's named pool operator, certified through a listed course, posts a certificate while open.

The facility permit and the operator certificate are two different things and only one of them is attached to the building. Minnesota requires the owner to designate a trained operator, certified through a listed course, retrained at least every five years, with the certificate posted whenever the pool is open. In an owner-operated school that person is usually the seller, and the certificate leaves with them. The course is scheduled and multi-day, so a buyer who has not certified before closing, and has not hired somebody who has, is out of compliance on the first morning with a permit that is perfectly valid.
