This article discusses process standardization as a management strategy to reduce risks in commercial swimming pools, considering the need for operational stability under high user turnover and continuous variability in use conditions, the analysis emphasizes the monitoring of physicochemical and microbiological parameters, the organization of disinfection, filtration, and cleaning routines, and the integration between water control and surrounding area hygiene, with emphasis on verification tools, systematic records, and preventive maintenance, the results indicate that formalized and traceable procedures enhance sanitary predictability, reduce improvisation, and support technical responses proportional to deviations, while structured documentation enables trend reading and preventive adjustments, the discussion highlights that checklists and operational forms support internal audits, the identification of recurring nonconformities, and continuous improvement, sustaining user safety and sanitary compliance in daily operations.
