Lessons Learned from a Lifetime of Wilderness Travel,
Game Leading and Classroom Teaching
Seldom does one have the opportunity to spend seven weeks
“alone” in a remote Canadian wilderness…. or to lead thousands
of students into the back country to paddle, hike, fish, camp,
bike, climb or to sleep in the snow…..or to play and create highly
effective team building and group games that were developed
over a 37 year teaching career. In the course of those moments
and years, numerous lessons have been learned. Many of those
lessons are seldom discussed. Please join Dr. Mike as he shares
his unique stories and the lessons that he has learned!
Lessons Learned Include: Humor, Silence, Listening, Honoring
the Earth, Visions/Reality, Aging, Active Healthy Lifestyle, Teamwork, Happiness and Leadership.

Instructor: Shawn DeRosa, JD DeRosa Aquatics
Practical Pool Management Plus is a fast-paced two-day pool operator training program that offers an in-depth analysis of swimming
pool and spa operations, maintenance and management. This course
moves beyond traditional calculations and mathematics to provide
the pool operator not only the basics of circulation, filtration, water
quality, chemical adjustments, safety and risk management but also
a comprehensive approach to managing an aquatic facility in accordance with the latest industry standards and best practices. Specific
references to the Model Aquatic Health Code and the state of Florida’s
sanitation and safety standards for public pools (Chapter 64E-9) are
included in the course. Recognized by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the
PPM+ training program meets or exceeds pool operator training requirements in virtually every state.* Certification, valid for five years,
is available to those who pass the written exam with a score of 75%
of better. Successful participants will receive a certificate suitable for
framing and will be entered into a database of pool operators certified
through the Aquatic Safety Research Group, LLC.
Why not take a pool operator course from one of the experts who
helped write the book? Developed and taught by Shawn DeRosa, a
contributing author of The Complete Swimming Pool Reference (3rd
Edition), the interactive PPM+ presentation incorporates multimedia technologies to enhance the learning process making this
course ideal for both novice and experienced pool operators alike. *This course is approved by the Florida Department of Health for student certification as a Public Pool Service Technician under Chapter
514, F.S., and Chapter 64E-9, F.A.C. Additional state approvals may be
found at http://www.derosaaquatics.com/statepoolcodes.html Aquatic Risk Management

The seminar focuses on both basic and advanced elements of risk
management in the aquatic environment including pools, water parks

7. New Safety Signage Strategies
Most of these seven topics were researched and developed by the
Aquatic Safety Research Group and are exclusive and unique to this
ARM Seminar. Much of the information presented simply cannot be
found elsewhere.
Cutting edge lifeguard videos, actual drowning videos, and summaries
of actual court cases and aquatics will also be included with the major
topics.
The program is very interactive, encouraging Q&A concerning any areas of water safety that attendees would like to discuss. No topics too
small or too controversial to discuss. An ARM certificate will be given to each participant as well as a free
new video concerning Lifeguard Blindness.

Post Conference Workshops
Aqua Tech
Thursday, February 9, 2017
1:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
AquaTech is designed to prepare you to operate a pool or aquatic facility according to U.S. and international training requirements. Using
a combination of online study and on-site competency testing, the
AquaTech certification course offers a flexible alternative to classroomonly certification methods with the following benefits:
GUIDEBOOK
AOAP Annual Conference & Exposition
has gone mobile using Guidebook!
We strongly encourage you to download our mobile guide to enhance
your experience at the AOAP Annual Conference & Exposition. You’ll
be able to plan your day with a personalized schedule and browse exhibitors, maps and general show info.
• User-friendly, non-intimidating training. AquaTech helps you master
the fundamentals of aquatic facility care through clear, simple explanations of the key concepts. Rather than just working through pages of
math problems, you’ll learn the hows and whys behind the essential
procedures, resulting in a more thorough understanding of the job.
• Developed by industry leaders. AquaTech was designed with the
help of experts who understand the changing needs of today’s aquatic
facilities. These people include Robert Burrows, Tom Carrico, Robert
Clayton, Juliene Hefter, Mick Nelson, Jill White, and Kent Williams.
All Conference/Group General Session
• Meaningful interactive online instruction. The course is more than
just book content presented online. It takes students step by step
through a typical work day to help them connect important concepts
to real-world practice. Participants will work through interactive scenarios based around situations they’re likely to face on the job.
All Conference attendees are encouraged to attend the general session that is being co-hosted by AOAP and Starfish Aquatics. Please
note that if there are any other groups that are interested in offering training during the week of the AOAP Conference at the conference site please contact Juliene Hefter, Executive Director at 262894-9772 or [email protected]
• Outstanding study and reference materials. The AquaTech text features full-color photographs and reader-friendly elements such as margin notes, best practices tables, and step-by- step instructions for common pool issues. Included with each book is the AquaTech Pool Tool,
a handy laminated reference card that features formulas, conversions,
charts, and calculation tips. Both resources will be valuable tools even
after the course is completed.
Monday, March 7 from 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm in California Room
Do you want to be recognized as an Aquatic Professional within the
aquatic industry? Then this designation is for you. Through a combination of education, experience and training you may be recognized
as an AqP. The AOAP Conference is the perfect place to earn CEU’s
towards this designation and attend the 4 CORE requirement sessions.
Qualifying sessions will be marked in the final conference booklet. Additional information may be found at:
http://www.aquaticpros.org/aquatic-professional-designation
***** All registrants will take part in an on-line portion of the course
prior to the conference. The AquaTech online course will teach you
how pool systems work and how to maintain them, as well as how to
diagnose, prevent, and solve common pool care troubles. You’ll also
find information on reducing risk and increasing safety at your facility.
After completing the course, you’ll have all the requisite competencies to successfully operate a pool or other aquatic facility. Following
successful completion of the online course, students take part in an
instructor-led session at the conference on 2/9 from 1:00 - 9:00 pm
with hands on interaction. Successful completion of the instructor-led
session leads to certification.*
