requirements.
*Also note the situations that have actually happened where the lifeguard
had to attempt 3 times to pick a victim off the bottom of the pool Not a
great time to be finding out they did not have the physical capacity to assist
in an emergency.
Staff Swimming When Pool is Empty
Staff may swim if there is another staff willing to solely guard during their
unpaid break with all necessary safety equipment.
CRPs and/or PICs must document which staff is swimming and which staff
person is the designated guard.
Staff are not to be paid for guarding other staff swimming.
The staff solely guarding must be in proper guarding position.
Staff Swimming During Off-Deck Rotations
Staff wishing to enter the water on a "off-deck rotation" are required to
obtain approval from their respective In-Charge staff.
Staff Swimming During Lane or Leisure swims
Staff have to pay the fee associated with the respective swim
Yes current city of Vaughan staff are able to access the pool during regular
scheduled times at no cost. This practice is encouraged and documented in
our staff manual. It's an attempt to ensure that staff remain active and
continue to develop their swimming and aquatic skills.
Yes, our staff have free access to all areas in our facility , pool, fitness and
arena
Yes, we encourage our aquatic staff to maintain their fitness level. They do
not have to pay to swim during lane swim or leisure swim, under the
conditions that they are not working and they are not causing disruption to
the swim. If they wish to get a fitness membership, they receive a 20%
discount.
Yes, we encourage our staff to swim laps (FREE), but if the pool is busy we
tell staff that they are to allow the paying customer the lane spot. In regards
to the fitness rooms as well same idea, if it becomes busy they are to not
hog the equipment and maybe help out if possible. Its sort of a perk for
staff so we use them as good will ambassadors sort of.
