What must aquatic staff do at the start of their scheduled program time?

Being on deck in uniform and ready to work at the start of scheduled program time is essential for aquatic staff for several reasons. This practice ensures that staff are visibly present and prepared to fulfill their responsibilities, which may include monitoring safety, providing instruction, or attending to patron needs. Being in uniform not only promotes professionalism but also signifies to patrons that staff are ready and available to assist.

Additionally, being prepared allows for a smoother transition into the program activities, facilitating immediate engagement with participants and ensuring that any necessary pre-program safety checks or preparations are completed promptly. This readiness reinforces the commitment to safety and service, which are paramount in an aquatic environment.
