Wally, a water droplet, summarizes his home of the UC Pool and the humans that interact there. The pool lifeguards are responsible for safety and enforcing policies. The Student Pool Supervisor handles day-to-day operations and trains the lifeguarding staff. Young humans also learn to swim in lessons, starting at beginner levels and working their way up to advanced strokes and endurance. The Swim Lesson Student Supervisor ensures a safe learning experience by welcoming participants and assigning instructors to classes.

1. Wally was chosen amongst the other billion
water droplets from the UC Pool to tell you
all about the neat place he comes from.
He is super excited!!
Hey Gorloks! Wally

3. Aside from my family, only humans are allowed in
the water. And that’s a good thing too.
My crazy uncle swears that he saw a shark once.
But it was just a movie night when the humans
were watching Jaws. That was pretty cool!
Did you know that these same
humans label themselves as
Pool Lifeguards?

4. I guess it’s kind of cool.
Here are some of the things they do:
Report to work on time in uniform & wearing
nametag.
Attend all the exciting in-service and staff meetings.
Enforce all pool policies and help our customers
understand why these policies are in place.
Guard the safety of each human using my home (the
facility).
Maintain swimming skills to perform rescues.
Be easy to contact and respond in a timely manner.
The faster, the better.
Maintain a positive, welcoming rapport with all the
other humans.
Remain alert.

6. Did you know that sometimes the little
humans gather in packs and learn how to
swim in the water with my family?
Yeah. They call this swim lessons.
Some of them are adorably cute.
Makes me want to have a little
droplet of my own.
Maybe one day..

7. ____________________________Here’s a little about how it works:
They provide swim lessons
for ages 4 and up.
Day or evening sessions.
There are 5 different levels of
instruction; starting at
beginner and working their
way up to advanced.
Beginner lessons help big
and little humans become
comfortable with the water.
Advanced lessons help with
all strokes, technique, and
improving their endurance.

8. The pack leader of all these little human
groups is called the Swim Lesson Student
Supervisor. Here are a few things this person
does:
Welcomes all lesson participants
and helps them find their
instructors.
____________________
Assures a positive, safe learning
experience for all involved.
Trains instructors on what
to teach, when, and
sometimes how.
Creates pack lists of these little
humans and assigns instructors
to teach classes.

9. So that’s about it for now.
Next time you’re in the neighborhood,
check out the pool and..
