This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to install variously shaped above-ground swimming pools. It includes preparing level and sloping sites and ancillary equipment for connection.

This unit applies to a range of contexts and reflects the role of those who are responsible for installation processes involving excavation and base preparation for above-ground:

• private swimming pools
• public swimming pools, including:
  • hydrotherapy and therapeutic exercise pools
  • wading and receiving pools associated with water slides
  • wave pools.

This unit is suitable for those using specialised knowledge to complete routine and non-routine tasks, and their own judgement to deal with predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.

No licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
