Les Mole is the Managing Director of Pool Star Pty Ltd, which offers a number of consultancy services for the aquatics industry including professional development and training, facility design advice, signage and safety audits, expert eyewitness service for incidents, policies and procedures manuals and asset management plans.
Aquatic facilities have become modern day colosseums for sport and exercise. Their design and construction is complex and there is always another method on trial for greater efficiencies and effectiveness. Although the aquatics industry had engaged new technologies, the operations of a facility cannot avoid the realities of harsh climatic environments, high levels of casual and semi-skilled labour, intense health regulations, and the pressures and expectations of a consumer savvy population.
Pool Star Aquatic Services [PSAS] combines years of professional practice into an organisation that allows swimming pool owners to manage avoidable shortcomings in their operations. We are as eclectic as the aquatics industry itself.
