The Institute of Sport and Recreation Management
Register of Pool Plant Professionals (ROPPPs)
The RoPPPs register recognises all those professionals who have qualified in pool plant operations and who have kept their knowledge up to date by attending a one day RoPPPs update seminar within 5 years of qualification (up to 31st July 2010) or 3 years of qualification (from 1st August 2010). It is of benefit to employers, who can access the register to check up on all who claim to be qualified. Improving standards of professionalism is ISRM’s way of helping to ensure that pools become safer, more hygienic and healthier for people to use and to help promote swimming as a positive healthy exercise.
