On the first day of each session, staff introduce safety rules, pool rules, and locker room expectations. During summer, this is done efficiently to maximize pool time. Commitment Rules (being safe, respectful, and responsible) are covered briefly with the first group of the morning and afternoon, typically on the pool deck. This also includes the word of the week, coming from the thriving characteristics, and the theme of the week. Camp Counselors provide the overview, followed by Aquatics staff introductions and a quick pool rules review.
