Additional staff will be needed for required cleaning duties and monitoring of guidelines. The indoor staff break area will be limited to allow for social distancing. All Lifeguards will use individualized safety gear (rescue tube and rescue hip pack) and sanitize at the start and end of each shift. All staff will be required to wear a face covering during all hours of work. The exception would be in the event of an emergency and when up on high stands. A face covering would need to be removed to alert the EAP, blow the whistle, enter the water, and perform the appropriate rescue. In the event of an emergency where resuscitation is needed, the staff will use a BVM (bag valve mask) as the primary device to reduce the exposure to Covid-19. All other standard practices will remain the same.
