Pool Supervision

The group discussed current attendance at the Olympium pool sessions and the need for both additional Director’s supervision and the orientation training of new members. It was decided that Doug will draw up a schedule that includes Directors and Andrew Walus as a designee supervisor when available.

A recommendation was made to schedule quarterly or as-needed full-day training dates for the FT orientation program to ensure new members have the safety training to supervise themselves at practice. All Directors will be expected to attend as instructors. Doug will poll the membership for an agreeable date in the near future and add it to the schedule.
