Dive into the World of Pool Maintenance with Certified Pool Operator Russ Hoeppner

Pools, pools, pools! They provide endless fun, but maintaining them isn’t always a splash. That’s why all of our Resorts have a Certified Pool Operator (CPO) on staff to handle both the fun and the nitty-gritty of pool management. We sat down with Russ Hoeppner, one of only three CPO instructors in the state of Michigan, and the expert who trained our very own CPO’s. With over 17 years of experience in the aquatics industry, Russ brings a wealth of knowledge to the table! Russ’s journey in the aquatics industry began in

Russ Hoeppner

Frankenmuth, Michigan, where he maintained and managed multiple pools and water slides for one of the area’s largest hotels. His expertise in pool equipment, care, and repairs led him to become an independent contractor with the Pool and Hot Tub Alliance for the state of Michigan. Suffice it to say, Russ is a true pool expert. Russ has trained our staff hands-on, ensuring that they are equipped to handle all aspects of pool maintenance. While CPO classes are not mandated by the State of Michigan, we believe in going above and beyond to ensure the highest standards of pool care across all our locations.
