If you’re hiring guards, training instructors, or trying to raise standards without burning out your team… this episode hits.
Tyler’s background is legit:
- Grew a swim program 80 → 400 participants/month
- Helped certify 77 swim instructors
- Now running aquatics at a brand-new Parks & Rec facility (outside Orlando) prepping for their first big season + first audit
What we talk about (the real stuff):✅ Certified isn’t the same as competent✅ Instructors are the key to a safer facility (not just the agency/cert system)✅ How to rebuild training + culture without breaking trust✅ Cost barriers in aquatics education — and what to do when budgets are tight✅ Why clear vision + roles (hierarchy) can help safety… or hurt it
