This included continued system training for core Aquatics team and operations training for front-life staff like lifeguards, swim instructors, aquatics assistants, office attendants, and more. Front line staff training covers customer service, day-to-day operational procedures, and water safety protocols, with the largest concentration of training time spent on emergency response, water rescue, and similar life safety topics.
