All safety procedures, emergency protocols, and child protection guidelines will be introduced during volunteer onboarding and reviewed in greater detail during the in-service training led by the Aquatics Director. Completion of all required paperwork, training videos, and attendance at the in-service training are mandatory before volunteering in the program to ensure a safe and supportive environment for all participants.
We understand that unexpected situations may arise. If you need to cancel your volunteer shift or commitment, please notify the program coordinator as soon as possible—preferably at least 24 hours in advance. This allows us to adjust schedules and ensure adequate supervision for the safety of all participants. Repeated cancellations or no-shows without notice may affect your eligibility to continue volunteering in the program. If you have any concerns or need support, please reach out—we’re here to help!
