SUMMARY
The City of Azusa and the American Red Cross work jointly on the Summer Aquatics
Program and with first aid and CPR certification for staff. Lifeguards and Water
Safety Instructors are also certified by the Red Cross and this training is the
foundation of our aquatic staff's training. The Red Cross will be given permission to
use Slauson Park Community Pool to conduct certification classes for Lifeguards
and Water Safety Instructors. These classes will not conflict with our ongoing
Summer swim season.
BACKGROUND
The City and the American Red Cross have been working jointly for over 50 years
in conducting our Summer "Learn To Swim" program at Slauson Park Pool. Red
Cross provides the certification for Lifeguards and Swim Lesson Teachers, class
standards, swimmer certification cards, and record data base.
FISCAL IMPACT
These will be little to no fiscal impact. Slauson Pool is maintained in a clean and
ready to use condition.
