COmplete Swimming Pool Reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Although I found the book to be somewhat outdated, it is clear and consise and easy to read. I am not a pool "expert" as some of the reviewers are, I am new to the pool business and in that regard i found it very helpful.Remember, this is a refence book published a while ago and pool "standards" continue to change.
The best swimming pool reference book I've ever owned.

I've been in the pool biz for twenty five years and this is the only pool related book I've read that didn't put me to sleep. It's clear,concise, and very understandable for people at ALL levels.The pool business is a tough, comprehensive subject and Tom Griffith has done a masterful job at tackling all the issues.
The book is a comprehensive and professional resource.

No book can stand alone, but I found this text to provide excellent detailed information about swimming pools. As a scuba instructor and former aquatics director I found Tom Griffiths' text to be well organized and easy to read. The obvious attention to organization, excellent resource information, and attractive illustrations, make the book a great reference for people desiring to know more about swimming pools.

As an aquatics profession with over twenty years of professional experience (YMCA, high school and country club settings), and now resposible for the development of Health, Physical Education (teacher ed. and non-teacher ed) and Sport professionals in a higher education setting, I can not say enough good things about what Dr. Griffiths has put in ALL of his texts. No text will do everything for everyone, but I commend Dr. Griffiths on his insight, ideas, and ways he has organized his writing. I am most disappointed to see individuals who have not provided more positive reviews of the text. The tone of their presentations appear somewhat unprofessional in nature, and appear to be more of a personal attack than an actual review of the textbook (which I find most disappointing). As an individual who attempts to read anything I can get my hands on associated with the aquatics field, in the words of Siskel and Ebert, I give Dr. Griffiths book a solid "two thumbs up," and would be willing to email back to any individual/professional/organization any questions regarding any of the author's work which has been published
