Facility Services

We know that operating an aquatic facility is complex and comes with significant liability risk. Between maintaining a safe facility, healthy water, qualified staff, high quality programs, and convenient public access, it can be challenging for managers to keep up and find adequately qualified supervisors. We can help your facility get started, fill in current gaps, and provide your team with the knowledge, skills, and certifications required to increase capacity and maintain self-sustainable operations for years to come.

Aquatic Safety Inspections

Aquatic safety inspections are utilized to assess risk within an aquatic facility and identify areas to the owner or owner‘s agent that are in compliance with legislation, regulations, standards, and guidelines. The scope of the aquatic safety inspection includes areas such as the lobby, change rooms, mechanical rooms, and deck. 

Scanning Enhancement

Evaluation Audits

SEE Audits evaluate your lifeguards' performance against Lifesaving Society standards and expectations for lifeguards. These audits establish your team's performance baseline and are a great tool for lifeguard coaching and development.

Development & Review

Our certified operators don't mind getting their hands dirty. Our operators are experienced in daily operations, preventative maintenance shut-downs, and facility re-opening. We can help fine tune systems, develop circulation system maps, and provide system upgrade recommendations while ensuring your facility meets provincial and territorial regulations and industry standards.

Safety Supervison Plans

Safety supervision plans are designed for supervised facilities. This document outlines employer expectations for lifeguard communication, supervision,  positioning, and rotations. The safety supervision plan can be adapted to meet the unique needs of the facility while providing a guide for lifeguard surveillance.

Facility Design Consultation

We've worked at dozens of facilities across Western Canada. Most facilities are designed with public enjoyment in mind. We can look at your facility design project and provide insight into how the design may impact public accessibility, lifeguard performance, mechanical operations, and recommend how to ensure industry regulations, standards, and best practices are being accounted for.
