Trainee requirements

A swimming pool maintenance and repair trainee shall not engage in the draining, acid washing and backwash filtration of a swimming pool for which an SP-1 or SP-2 license is required, unless such trainee (1) is under direct supervision, or (2) has completed a minimum of forty (40) hours of on-the-job training. For the purposes of this section, "direct supervision" means under the guidance of a licensed swimming pool maintenance and repair contractor or journeyman, and within the sight or hearing distance of such licensed individual.
