Pool Associations

Joining a pool service association in your area, after you have purchased your route, is very beneficial. Associations provide many benefits to pool route business owners, that may include, but aren’t limited to:

  • Education opportunities, throughout the year by guest speakers and manufactures
  • Education classes for Continuing Education (CE) units and Certifications
  • Networking with other pool service professionals
  • Liability Insurance policy
  • Sick Route Coverage if you become injured
  • Special promotions and/or discounts on other services for being a member

Trade Shows

Pool industry trade shows are held throughout the United States each year, typically in the Winter months because it's the slower season for pool service professionals. Shows generally offer an exhibit area for you to meet suppliers, manufacturers, associations, etc. Exhibitors share information on their products, new product releases, industry changes and more, to keep you on the cutting edge of the industry. Shows also provide classes for you to gain knowledge related to pool service, repairs, and business topics. Many certifications/licenses require you to earn Continuing Education (CE) credits for renewal and many of the classes qualify for credit.
