The swimming pool & spa receive special cleaning weekdays from 9-11 a.m., in addition to automatic cleaners which work throughout the night.

LIFEGUARDSAny time the swimming pool & spa are open, members & guests are carefully& constantly observed by American Red Cross (ARC) trained & certifiedlifeguards. Lifeguards are equipped with two-way radios, an emergencytelephone, rescue equipment, a well-stocked first aid kit & the knowledgethat additional professional help is just seconds away. Lifeguards arerequired to maintain skills in CPR/AED, first aid & water rescue. They must pass a water readiness test & receive site-specific training before they are assigned to lifeguard shifts. Lifeguards participate in periodic in-service training sessions to keep their skills honed.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURESThe Rec Center staff works closely with the UM-Flint Department of Environ-ment, Health & Safety & the Department of Public Safety to ensure that all appropriate standards, policies & procedures are met & followed. Emergencydrills, including fire & storm, backboarding & emergency building evacuationare planned, implemented, critiqued & fine-tuned on a regular basis. Successful collaborative efforts pay off in terms of safety on a daily basis.Health & fitness can’t be achieved without attention to safety. All staffersare concerned with working for the safety of guests who visit, & all areinvolved in & committed to the standards, guidelines, protocols, training,certifications & continuing education which are indicative of the traditionof excellence associated with the University of Michigan.
