Appearance and Dress

Each student employee will be provided with an instructor bathing suit. This uniform allows the parents and children to know who you are.

Employees are required to wear their bathing suit during lessons.

10

Work Schedules and Substitutions At the beginning of every semester, a meeting will be held to establish

teaching assignments for the upcoming session or sessions. Swim lessons normally run twice a week for 4 weeks or once every

Saturday and Sunday for 8 weeks. Private and semi-private lessons will vary. Instructors are expected to be at every lesson that they sign up to teach.

If for some reason a substitute instructor is needed, please follow this procedure:

1. Email the Instructors via the listserv (wsi@umd.edu) and call instructors.

2. Please let the Coordinator of Aquatics and the lead instructor for the classes know who is subbing for you.

3. The instructor who is asking for the sub is required to leave a detailed lesson plan for the substitute.

Due to the nature of the job, calling in sick or not showing up for lessons is not an option.

Conduct While On Duty

Aquatic student employees are expected to maintain a clean, safe work environment.

Aquatic Instructors should engage in conversation with participants and participants' parents while at work. Establish a relationship with the participants.

The professional staff office phone is to be used in cases of emergencies; personal phone calls should not be made while on duty. In case of person emergency, a cell phone may be used after first consulting with the lead instructor on duty.

Employees must attend all designated staff training sessions. Campus Recreation Services General Employee Training is mandatory for

all CRS personnel. Aquatic Instructor training sessions are held 3 times a semester. All training dates will be provided at the first training meeting. All CRS staff needs to participate in Bloodborne Pathogens Training

annually. All new CRS employees must attend the New Student Employee

Orientation. In water training will be a part of at least one training session a semester

Evaluations During each session, the Aquatic Assistant and/or Coordinator of Aquatic Programs will periodically evaluate Aquatic Instructors.

Aquatic Instructors will receive a copy of this evaluation at the end of the session. Also, at the end of a semester,

12

Aquatic Instructors will do a self-evaluation of their teaching and the program. Aquatic Instructors will also be evaluated by Lead Instructors. Lead Instructors will be evaluated by the Aquatics Coordinator as well as the Aquatic Instructors. Program evaluations are done at the end of a session by the Learn to Swim participants. These level specific evaluations cover learning outcomes, instructor performance and overall course expectations. These evaluations are turned into the Coordinator of Aquatics, Director of Aquatics, and Assistant Director of Non-Credit Instruction for data analysis. Pay Rate Increases

Emergency Procedures

General EMPLOYEE ACCIDENTS

Safety is our number one concern; we should always insure that we are acting in a responsible manner. If an employee accident should occur, there are steps you will need to follow:

1. Fill out an accident report. 2. Inform the Director of Aquatics as soon as possible. 3. Schedule a meeting with the Director of Aquatics to discuss the accident. 4. Fill out a workers compensation form.

INJURED / ILL EMPLOYEES Any employee that suffers an injury or illness which may prevent them from working for an extended period of time (ex. broken arm, sprain ankle, surgery, or severe illnesses) must bring a doctor’s note stating the need for time off and when you are planning on returning to work. You will need to make an effort to cover all your scheduled shifts. When you plan on returning to work, you will need to produce a doctor’s note stating you are all right to return to duty. Injuries that occur on the job need to be documented as soon as possible. Injuries need to be reported to the Director of Aquatics in a timely manner. HANDLING OF BLOOD/BODILY FLUIDS The following procedures should be used when treating injuries involving blood and bodily fluids:

Wear latex gloves when administering first aid (a new pair of gloves should be worn each time first aid is administered)

Secure area and clean all blood-contaminated surfaces and equipment with the supplies provided. Any and all materials, including gauze, band-aids, and paper towels that come into contact with blood or

other body fluids must be handled while wearing gloves. All items should be deposited in a bag; place this into a biohazardous waste bag; and place this bag into a biohazardous container immediately. Do not let patrons handle any materials that have been contaminated.

Biohazardous container is located at Equipment Issue Do not deposit any materials involved with a blood/bodily fluid spill into a trash receptacle. Always wash your hands with soap and water after administering first aid. Please keep in mind you are not a doctor and you cannot give out medical advice or suggestions for

further treatment you feel the patron may need. Always fill out an accident report while the patron is still at the facility. If you have had an exposure to the bloodbourne pathogens while administering first aid contact the

Director of Aquatics immediately. Post-exposure testing and counseling is necessary if an exposure occurs to a Campus Recreation

Services employee.

14

Emergency Action Plan Please keep in mind that in an emergency situation many things are occurring at the same time, it is very important that you stay calm, think and act appropriately. For the privacy of the victim and their family, you must refrain from making comments to anyone. Discussing an accident at the ERC is grounds for dismissal. If any patrons or persons approach you from the media instruct them to speak with the Associate Director of Business. Please do not hesitate to speak to the Director of Aquatics if you feel you need time off or counseling after an accident.

16

Evacuating The Eppley Recreation Center If a fire is found, pull an alarm (located throughout the building) to initiate the emergency plan. Call 911 (a supervisor will call or instruct someone to call) and explain the situation. Equipment Issue staff:

Close equipment issue roll-down door Grab radio (walkie-talkie) Direct people out the exits on level B

Female staff: Walk through the women’s locker room Evacuate through emergency exit Leads to employee corridor or, doors that lead to pool deck

Male staff: Walk through men’s locker room Evacuate through emergency exit Leads to pool deck or, doors that lead to pool deck

Lifeguards:

Will also be evacuating the locker rooms and one supervisor will make a sweep through both locker rooms

IF COLD WEATHER: equipment issue staff will direct pool traffic to the NW corner (corner by diving boards) and have everyone stay near the exits in that corner. IF WARM WEATHER: equipment issue staff will direct pool traffic out the emergency exits on the north wall.

When all pool traffic in corner, exit the building and check on the Outdoor Recreation Staff to make sure they have exited their space. Return to the NW corner of the pool and wait to hear the “All Clear” from a supervisor. If the pool deck exits are not available due to the “emergency” your 2nd best exit option is through the employee corridor that leads to the exit by SPH Information Desk Staff: Grab radio (walkie-talkie) Direct people out the front doors or nearest exit Exit out the level 1 west exit by the outdoor pool (If this exit is not available due to the “emergency” use the exit doors by the information desk). Do not allow people to enter the building Wait to hear the “All Clear” from a supervisor Supervisors:

One supervisor needs to call 911 or direct someone to call 911 All CRS staff:

Do not put yourselves in any danger. If you cannot exit through the specified doors, or feel endangered, exit through the nearest safe exit.

If a fire is found, the person finding the fire should immediately pull the fire alarm and proceed to call 911. Be prepared to give information to the responding emergency personnel. Use your radio to stay in contact with other CRS staff to alert them of your status and location. An emergency evacuation drill program will be conducted throughout the year. During these drills, the fire alarms will not necessarily be activated. If the fire alarms are to be used, DES will be called to coordinate the drill.

Use Of Defibrillator & Emergency Action Plan For Cardiac Arrest Emergencies A Head Lifeguard certified to use the defibrillator units must be on duty at all times and will be responsible for the use of these units should a cardiac event occur. Head Lifeguards must carry a two-way radio with them at all times. To ensure that the radio is in working condition, the Head Lifeguard must conduct a radio check with the Facility Supervisor at least once every ¼ hour (15 past & 15 to the hour). A defibrillator unit will be located in the Head Lifeguard office at both the Natatorium and Outdoor Aquatic Center- (when open). Sudden cardiac arrest means the heart has suddenly stopped beating. Facility supervisors, weight and fitness staff, and lifeguards are trained to recognize the signs of cardiac arrests. It is crucial to act immediately by getting the Head Lifeguards involved early, and to access the emergency medical system (EMS) by calling “9-1-1.” Following is the Emergency Action Plan Campus Recreation Services will be using in the event of a Cardiac Arrest Emergency at the Campus Recreation Center or in the SPH Building’s activity spaces directly supervised by CRS. Step 1: The CRS staff member responding to an emergency must determine if a cardiac emergency is taking

place. If in doubt, assume it is a cardiac emergency. Notify the Facility Supervisor immediately and initiate First Aid.

NOTE: CRS employees working in SPH Building do not have a two-way radio, so they will need to call the ERC Information Desk (X64500) to alert the Facility Supervisor of the situation. (This should be done at once, even before you investigate the situation), as well as send someone (if available) to immediately alert the Facility Supervisor. Facility Staff must remember to inform the Facility Supervisor of the location and condition, if known, of the victim. Once the Facility Supervisor is notified, the staff person will go to the victim and initiate First Aid.

Step 2: Facility Supervisor will call on the two-way radio to the Head Lifeguard on duty, in forming them of the

situation and need for their assistance. Inform the Head Lifeguard-of the location and the condition of the victim (Head Lifeguards will bring the defibrillator unit with them).

Step 3: Facility Supervisor will call “9-1-1” or send someone to call “9-1-1” to request ambulance assistance.

(Note: Remember to let the “9-1-1” operator know that the situation is a possible Cardiac Arrest Emergency, and the location of the victim.)

Step 4: Facility Supervisor will maintain First Aid until the Head Lifeguard arrives. Step 5: Facility Supervisors will assign other CRS staff (when available) to specific tasks (e.g., crowd control,

meeting ambulance, directing EMS personnel to location of emergency). Step 6: Upon arrival, the Head Lifeguard is in charge of cardiac emergencies. Facility Supervisor will assist the

Head Lifeguard as directed. Step 7: Facility Supervisor will complete the “Accident Report” and “Incident Report” with assistance from the

Head Lifeguard and witnesses. Step 8: In the event of a cardiac or other serious emergency, the MOD and Wallace Eddy (or person

responsible for his coverage), should be contacted immediately after the emergency (at home, if necessary). All related “Accident Reports” should go directly to Wallace Eddy for follow-up.

18

Semi-Private and Private Swim Lessons

A few quick facts about Private and Semi-Private Swim Lessons:

Participants must either sign up in person at Member Services or register online and may purchase single or package lessons. Instructors must be employed by CRS. Instructors will sign in

on the timesheet for one hour per private lesson. Private lessons may not happen while regularly scheduled

Learn to swim is happening. (Monday- Thursday 5:15pm- 8:00pm; Saturday 9:15am-12:00pm, Sunday, 2:15p – 4p)

All registrations will go through the Coordinator of Aquatics and/ or Director of Aquatics and be passed down to instructors. Instructors will be required to keep all records of classes taught and turn in the records at end of lessons.

Games and Songs for Swim Lessons Much of a child’s early learning takes place while playing games. In fact, play and fun experiences are essential for the development of a child’s positive attitude toward the world. Games and Songs make use of a child’s natural ability to imagine and pretend while learning swimming-related skills. Games are associated with fun, but they provide for the development of these critical skills: Motor skills- Coordination, balance, gross and fine motor control and spatial awareness. Survival skills- Personal water safety skills as well as general water safety knowledge. Social skills- Interaction, cooperation, and leadership. Games and other activities must be chosen with care. They need to be appropriate to the level of ability of participants, help ensure safety, and provide enjoyment as well. Games and activities can be educational or recreational in nature. They can be selected to teach new skills or practice skills already mastered. When choosing games, consider the following three concerns: 1. Purpose: Know the aim of the game or activity. 2. Safety: Most activities can be made safe and suitable by adding rules or

modifying the game. However, forethought and planning are necessary. 3. Equipment: Prior to the lesson, organize special equipment required for the

game.

The games that follow are listed with the appropriate water-related skill and/or activity to be taught.
