About this simulation
A 90-minute, 4-round basic Express simulation for Spanish vocational training (Formacion Profesional, grado medio), module 1701 Control de organismos nocivos en piscinas y otras instalaciones acuaticas of the Tecnico en Sanidad ambiental aplicada (Real Decreto 1157/2024).
The learner is Aitana Rebole, a newly qualified pool technician of a fictional company contracted for the water treatment and the self-control protocol of the fictional municipal pools of Navalzarza: a covered heated pool, a teaching pool and an outdoor summer pool.
Four situations set the pools' course in 2027: a routine morning control with no free chlorine in the teaching pool while the controller's panel reads 1.2 mg/L and how the cause is looked for, a diarrhoeal faecal accident during a children's lesson and how users and the authority are informed, the summer heat wave with the outdoor pool on stabilised chlorine near the isocyanuric-acid closing value and over capacity, and the annual review of the self-control protocol with the follow-up.
Closing in time costs less than an outbreak. Scored on the risks under control, the cost of the measures, the days with a risk open and the bather-days exposed; training-level decision practice that complements the self-control protocol of each pool, the product labels and the qualification the decree asks of treatment staff, and gives no medical advice.
Two hard-fails cap the round at 40: opening a pool with no free chlorine on the panel's word, and pouring the pH reducer into the hypochlorite drum (Real Decreto 742/2013). Spanish primary, English parity.
Who it is for
An introductory simulation that assumes no prior knowledge of the subject, designed for undergraduate courses. It also works in vocational and high-school programmes and in onboarding sessions.
How a session runs
- The instructor creates a session from the Eureka dashboard and invites the participants.
- Participants play 4 rounds. In each one they submit their decisions and the simulation calculates the results. The first round opens with: sábado 6 de febrero, 7:30: la lectura de la mañana y los registros.
- The simulation can be run in English, Español.
- The instructor follows each participant's progress and results from the dashboard, and uses the class results for the debrief.
