When you've certified pool operators from 121 countries across 6 continents, you don't just understand pool chemistry — you understand people. Coach Duffy brings a cultural IQ that no other CPO instructor can match. From resort chains in the Caribbean to military facilities in the Middle East, from international schools in Asia to municipal pools across Europe — the ability to train across cultures, languages, and regulatory environments is what separates good instruction from world-class instruction.
"The only CPO instructor with the cultural IQ to train operators anywhere in the world."
Duffy's dream is to serve the entire globe. With 30+ years in aquatic safety, experience at the Sydney Olympic Games, and students from every corner of the world — that dream is closer than ever.
Three decades of aquatic safety leadership spanning Olympic venues, military installations, international swimming organizations, and CPO training facilities worldwide.
This is not a resume built behind a desk. It is a career built on pool decks, in classrooms, and at competition venues across the globe.
Whether you're stateside or international, Coach Duffy's CPO certification training is available live via Zoom. Metric and imperial tracks. Students from 121 countries and counting.
