Staff begin moving on-site the week of Feb. 9
A temporary certificate of occupancy was issued on Friday, Feb. 6, which allows Recreation Department staff to begin moving into the facility. The pool’s first on-site lifeguard training will take place on Saturday, Feb. 7.
Two major training phases follow staff move-in:
• Systems training: Intensive technical training for the City’s permanent Aquatics operations staff covering the facility’s operating systems. It is designed to build deep familiarity with complex new technology and to ensure staff can safely operate and maintain each system.
• On-site staff training: A multi-week training period for lifeguards and other frontline staff focused on daily operational procedures, including emergency response drills, lifeguard rotations, and customer service.
These trainings are critical steps in readying the pools to operate safely and provide a high-quality experience for all users.
