| The aquatic administrator (sometimes called the aquatic director) is the person responsible for everything that occurs in aquatics in a particular organization. The facility could be one year-round indoor pool, or multiple indoor and seasonal outdoor facilities. |

|
| Regardless of the scope of the job, the aquatic administrator must: |
| • select and organize appropriate activities |
| • lead and manage an effective staff |
| • develop sound business practices |
|
The text contains 20 chapters, covering activities
(aquatic safety, instruction, wellness, recreation &
special events, parent-tot groups, adapted aquatics,
competition and sport clubs); staffing (select, hire,
and motivate the staff by following effective principles and techniques of personnel management); and proven business practices (solid financial base, marketing, risk management, pool operation, improving the appearance of the facility). |
