The exam shall be reviewed from time to time to determine applicability to current laws, rules and regulations. Opportunity for re-examination shall be afforded to an applicant upon request but not more frequently than once per week. Completion of the proficiency exam will not be required in successive years as long as the swimming pool remains under the continuous operation of the proficient person(s) in charge.
