LIFEGUARDS
Welcome to the Chabot Swim Club Lifeguard Staff.
Splat! There’s some zinc/oxide on your nose. Now you are official.
Below are a few of the rules and guidelines you will need to follow and enforce. Please use good judgment when enforcing pool rules and if there is ever a question, contact a board member. Phone numbers of the board members are posted in the lifeguard room.
GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES
1. It is your duty to report to work on time, dressed and ready to work. 2. You are responsible for the safety and well being of all club members and their guests. 3. You are responsible for enforcing/reminding everyone about the rules of …show more content…
Not showing up for work. Being late is one thing, not showing up is another. The first time you will get written up, the second time we will find someone else to fill your position. 2. Falsifying your timecard by: • punching in and then leaving • leaving and then punching out later. • punching in or out using someone else’s timecard (you should question the “friendship” of anyone who asks you to do this). • modifying time clock punches (if you need to correct a punch have a head lifeguard make the change and initial it). 3. Failing to perform opening, closing and unassigned guard tasks. 4. Insubordination to the head lifeguards (Garrett and Meghan), the lifeguard coordinator (Gary) or a swim club board member who is acting in their role as a board member. 5. Failing to keep your Lifeguard and CPR certifications current.
WATCHING THE POOL
(See the chair position diagram) 1. One lifeguard is ALWAYS in the “High Chair” during open swim. The only exception to this is if there are only small children in pool at the shallow end in which case the guard may choose to sit in one of the “Side Chair” or “Shallow End” …show more content…
• Post a “pool closed” sign on the window at the gate entrance. • Contact a head lifeguard. • Contact a board member.
ATTENDENCE/PUNCTUALITY
As an employee it is your responsibility to be on time for work; it is not the responsibility of your parents (they don’t work here). Time cards will be checked regularly to verify that lifeguards are arriving at work on time. This includes the Head Lifeguards and Senior Lifeguards. Being late for work will have an impact on the number of hours that you will be scheduled to work. Chronic lateness can / will result in being written up, being placed on probation, not being asked to return next season or possibly having your employment terminated. So don’t be late, get there early.
ADULT SWIM TIME/LIFEGUARD BREAKS
There are three reasons for “Adult Swim”. First is to give adults a chance to swim in the pool without the company of children. Second is to give the lifeguards a “Break”. The third reason for Adult Swim is to provide breaks for the kids and reduce the general level of uproar that can build over time in the pool.
Adult Swim times are at 2:00 PM., 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Adult Swim will last for 20
