Stanford Aquatics just created a few short videos of why people should use kickboards, pullbuoys or paddles and what it helps…I know those things are to be used in the pool but it still gives information to people and helps for when they eventually come back… :)

00:58:43Debbie Miles-Dutton

Fares, I appreciate your targeted approach and willingness to share with us. This is great, relevant information to kick start . Thank you so much.

00:59:53Jennifer Cobarrubias

Stanford University and the Bay Area is in Shelter in Place til May 30th now! But we are still working on a Contingency Plan with phases 1-5

01:00:37Rebecca Mabile

Not being pressured to provide lessons, but some of us in Utah have been talking about doing parent assisted lessons with the instructor on deck

01:01:00Bob Gough

It doesn't seem like we can provide lessons safely at this time. there doesn't seem to be enough testing available... it would be very difficult to provide hands-on lessons at this time...

01:01:14Kevin Post

This is a free tool. https://www.signupgenius.com/

01:01:27Natalie Broder

ECU talked about possibly having early morning hours for only seniors to safely workout. We have a large senior crowd that comes in the morning

01:01:30Erin Wells

Rebecca M, i believe that is what ARC is recommending for lessons as well

01:01:31Autumn Cleverley

we may only be offering private lessons for learn to swim level 3 and up

01:01:48Jennifer Cobarrubias

01:02:10Jennifer Cobarrubias

That is the link for a shared document of IDEAS we have for reopening feel free to add your schools ideas!

01:03:25Ginger DeCoursey

I have heard about all swim lessons be held at “mom and me”. so instructor will lead the caregiver in how to teach the lessons

01:03:55UBC - Christine Saunders

Thanks for sharing Jennifer!

01:03:58Jacob Lodge

@erin hey! even with Georgia starting to open up, it looks like we are going to remain closed indefinitely. all classes are online this summer. we are starting to put together a feasibility plan of what opening up would look like

01:05:14Joshua Rowland

The Red Cross is not recommending teaching swim lessons while social distancing is still in place.

01:05:21Christine Scollay

What adjustments are people making for lifeguards? How do rescues look under social distancing? Are you using hands only cpr for lay responders?

01:05:27Erin Wells

I had heard that the CDC will be putting out recommendations for swimming pools. Has anyone heard that?

01:05:40Lindsay Wigderson

I heard May 15 from CDC

01:06:58Joey LaNeve

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQIsQF-hrV8&t=828s

01:07:10Lindsay Wigderson

I asked Red Cross what responding to emergencies looks like and they said that they haven't been sent any information out yet but they did share this resource: https://www.ilcor.org/covid-19 - this is more land based versus water

01:07:10Natalie Broder

i would say unless we all get emergency oxygen and trained to administer it - i don’t see a safe way of providing air during CPR

01:07:11Joey LaNeve

This video gives some good reccomendations on care

01:07:12Erin Wells

Does anyone use Star Guard? I heard they are ok with training and rescues. As long as there are well checks at the door for participants and workers

01:07:46Joey LaNeve

This video gives some good recommendations on care:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQIsQF-hrV8&t=828s

01:07:58Kelley Hungerford

Hi All! This is Kelley from NIRSA HQ. I wanted to share some resources from the American Red Cross, which is offering provisional certification courses, certification extensions, and more in response to COVID-19. More info here: https://nirsa.net/nirsa/portfolio-items/discounts-american-red-cross/

01:08:02Frances Caron

We ordered masks specifically designed for the water for our entire lifeguard staff.

01:08:03Krista Herring - UCCS

AHA did provide some guidelines for CPR

01:08:10Beverly Bray

From everything I've heard, screening at the door and turning away any suspected illness. Then all same with filters starting out of the water

01:08:19Meagan Stachurski

Will they include UV systems in the CDC guidelines? I am unsure if they have had info on them in the past because not everyone has uv systems.

01:08:42Kathryn Dunn

I haven't done this yet, but Splash Edu has a free class on reopening after COVID: https://www.splash-edu.org/courses/covid-19-what-you-need-to-know

01:09:05Meagan Stachurski

I have to hop off due to another call but great to see everyone! Thanks for leading Richelle :)

01:09:49Kathryn Dunn

Also, I don't know how good this will be but there is a facebook live on this tomorrow: https://www.facebook.com/StarGuardELITESGE/posts/3253246268070153

01:10:17Frances Caron

For those asking- the masks can be found here

01:10:19Frances Caron

https://www.originalwatermen.com/lifeguard/face-masks.html

01:10:25Frances Caron

They are fantastic!

01:10:41Frances Caron

Made from swimsuit material

01:13:06Joshua Rowland

ARC has issued guidance on teaching CPRO using social distancing and virtual learning approaches that can be used for the Lifeguarding courses. Guidelines for teaching LG is also in development but social distancing must be lifted to complete the in water skills portions.

01:14:04Jackie Cowan James

As Kathryn Dunn posted: https://www.facebook.com/StarGuardELITESGE/posts/3253246268070153

I highly recommend. There will be guidelines for reopening.

01:14:30Lindsay Wigderson

I was on a call with NC parks and rec and a health inspector was on there - not sure if it just NC but she was saying that pools would be likely opening in phases. phase one would be outdoor pools, phase 2 would be water attractions and phase 3 was indoor pools

01:16:01Frances Caron

For those who are going to require masks or coverings for staff, have you revised EAPs if you use whistles or will you not be requiring masks on tower?

01:16:37Joey LaNeve

we are thinking that guards on stand will not wear masks and we are going to block off a 6ft area around each stand that patrons cannot enter

01:16:41Jennifer Cobarrubias

Frances - We will be looking into revising the EAPs to accommodate whistle blows talking on the walkies etc. Not sure exactly what it looks like yet

01:17:04Adam Comeau

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/diy-cloth-face-coverings.html

01:17:54Debbie Miles-Dutton

‘Sick Protocol’ should be part of the phased planning process: What does facility and program response look like if a patron or staff gets sick. Yes to Frances, we also need to revise and eventually train on protocol if LG’s are wearing masks on tower. Dr. J Sampstrott has some good info on this.

01:18:43Allison Abad

you can get whistles that you squeeze and then don’t need to worry about blowing the whistle or changing while blows. they’re fairly loud.

01:18:50Mike Rac

most likely all staff will need to wear facemasks when we reopen. a few of us in our region brought up handheld whistles:

01:19:02Debbie Miles-Dutton

I am using a Watermen lycra mask to test them out. Best part is that they are reusable if we assign one to a guard like a uniform.

01:19:10Frances Caron

We do air horns and whistles, just curious what others are doing.

01:19:16Michelle Jones

https://www.originalwatermen.com/watermen/accessories/cozy-mask-3-pack.html

01:19:26Michelle Jones

Yes, looked at these masks!

01:19:52Joshua Rowland

If you are going to reopen and mask your guards, will you shorten their rotations on stand?

01:20:26Frances Caron

Joshua- We will have to if we open over summer (we hit 115 at times).

01:20:48Natalie Broder

Could come up with hand signals instead of whistles - similar to alert a deaf lifeguard if there were to be a drowning, need to rotate, etc.

01:20:51Jennifer Cobarrubias

I was thinking about 15min rotations instead of our normal 30min rotations… Not 100% sure yet though.

01:21:19Cara Green

Our rotations are 20 min, so no

01:21:21Bob Weeks

Anyone know what swimming in one of these masks is like? How easily will our staff be able to breath through them if they're soaked in water due to jumping in for a rescue?

01:21:50Jennifer Cobarrubias

Bob that is what I asked Francis!

01:21:53Frances Caron

They aren't bad. They are made from swimsuit material.

01:22:00Jacob Lodge

like getting water boarded lol

01:22:01Frances Caron

They were better than the cloth.

01:22:04Jennifer Cobarrubias

Frances*

01:22:12Debbie Miles-Dutton

Remove before entering water. I doubt they would stay on through water entry anyways, just two loop straps around the ears.

01:22:17Michael Hay

For those that don't foresee re-opening in the near future as a possibility, what steps are you taking to cut costs at your facilities?

01:22:32Adam Comeau

Does anyone one know of cheaper reusable masks? Budget is tighter now.

01:22:42Cara Green

no because everyones budgets are cut

01:22:44Autumn Cleverley

welts our budget for the year :(

01:22:50Autumn Cleverley

we lost*

01:24:13Erin Wells

Reduced hours

01:25:01Jennifer Cobarrubias

We discussed only opening one of our pools at first and limited hours...

01:26:13Natalie Broder

NC doctors of practices with lots of staff have something in place if someone works and then is sick, they are automatically ineligible to work for 2 weeks since their first day of symptoms to make sure symptoms subside/asymptomatic and not infect others. Can do this for staff, and could also implement this if a LG has to do a save. 2 weeks no work since the day of the save to make sure they don’t get symptoms

01:26:31Bob Gough

Here is another mask options https://covidmasksca.itemorder.com/sale?read_message=true

01:28:16Beverly Bray

There are heak\lthcare guidelines that lifeguards have to adhere to

01:29:10Jennifer Cobarrubias

01:25:01Ian Brown

I echo Brenna's discussion point. After tomorrow's broader call, I'd like to circle-back to smaller group and get into specifics of re-opening and logistics.

01:25:07Chris Crume

Great job y’all!!!

01:25:15marc iturriaga

thanks. wonderfully facilitated and great discussion. thanks everyone.

01:25:23Linda Gundrum
