Lifeguards

Hello HHSTC Members,

I hope everyone is having a great start to the 2010 summer pool season! Since many have noticed we have 2 new lifeguards at the pool this week, I believe it is important to update you on what has happened.

Based on independent observations by the Guard Manager of USA Pools, they have removed 2 of our lifeguards from the schedule at Huntley Hills.

This decision was after we held an additional guard training meeting to re-review all rules and expectations, AND after receiving numerous additional complaints from several members. 

The Board does not hire or fire guards. We contract with USA Pools and they make all employment and scheduling decisions.  We pay them to handle most facets of the daily operations to ensure we have a very safe and comfortable environment.

The safety of our pool is everyone's highest priority and we take that responsibility very seriously. If you ever feel that one of the lifeguards is not watching the pool and/or acting inappropriately in any way, please let us know. You can reply to this email, contact me at the number below, or just find a Board member at the pool. Once again, we will relay the complaints to USA Pools and they will take any necessary action.

Thanks and we look forward to a continued safe summer at the pool!
