Your Instructor is Rusty Fausnaugh
Rusty
Rusty Fausnaugh is a swimmer.
Aquatics has been his life since taking American red cross swimming courses as a youth. Most valuable swimmer on his high school swim team and being awarded a scholarship to swim in College, he chose instead to attend a school closer to home and began operating pools and teaching swim lessons at the end of that adventure.
In the early 90’s, after working for municipalities to teach and operate their pools in Colorado and New York, he got an opportunity to work on construction and help people operate their pools as he had in the 80’s.
All around the southwest United States, he has demolished, constructed, started up and provided training on every type of facility and every type of swimming pool component.
Teaching swimming, lifeguarding and water safety is one skill, but becoming a CPO instructor for the National Swimming Pool Foundation in the late 90’s opened up a whole new dimension for his pool service, supply and construction business. He and his partner operated this business, employing dozens of people over the years.
A regular attendee of the World Aquatic Health Conference and avid seeker of training opportunities from all manufacturers of pool equipment. He has consulted, installed, and tested most of the products available to operators for safe operation of their facilities. He continues to find new ways to live in aquatics and find new and different ways to incorporate water in his life.
