QUESTION 19 OF 28

Do you have experience with overall pool hygiene, testing and regulating water temperature, PH levels, and chlorine?

"I look forward to formal training in this area, seeing as the experience I bring in pool maintenance is limited. I do; however, understand that most commercial pools need monitoring at least once per hour. Hygiene and health are significant factors to the success of your business, and I will do my part in reinforcing your sanitation processes."

Part of your role as a lifeguard may be ensuring that the pool levels are sanitary and safe. Discuss with the interviewer any training and experience you have with PH levels, chlorine levels, and water temperature. If you do not have training in these areas, you can express that you are eager and willing to learn.

"In my current role I assist our maintenance team by testing the chemical levels every hour. We have a strict system for this, in which I have been fully trained. Commercial pools can see many changes in a day, depending on factors such as the hygiene of the swimmers and how many people are using the facility on any given day. I understand that it's critical to remain on top of these levels, for the safety of everyone using the pool."

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.
