- In the event of injury or illness provide appropriate first aid
- Comply with legislative and organizational requirements relating to current water restrictions and the Guidelines for Safe Pool Operation
- Maintain a working knowledge and understanding of the Centre’s Emergency Action Plan

Not only their physical fitness and capabilities, but also their sense of identity, purpose, hope and dignity; psychological health; resilience; social connectedness; lifelong learning; and their own contribution back into the community. All the elements that together constitute a full, healthy, productive and satisfying life.
