Elijah Finkelshteyn: Meeting #1

Candidate: Elijah Finkelshteyn

Related Goal: Elijah Finkelshteyn : Improve Guard Response to Prepare for Variable Conditions

For our first meeting Elena and I discussed what a mentorship project is, and how it can positively impact the pools as well as our guards.

Here are some of the ideas we talked about at our first meeting (6/13/25):

• Creating a visual for different types of care (ie.. difference in care between a child and an adult)
• Revamping Timmy’s so they are less predictable
• Practicing delayed care (in case response isn’t good)
• Revamping the whistle Relay after the EAP is activated (so whistles are more clear)
• Make a station in rotation dedicated to listening for whistles
• Drills that practice different amount of guards present or on break during a save (as well as practicing who grabs what while responding, to ensure all equipment is accounted for)

Action items:

Narrowing down tasks. Hopefully deciding on at least one, and how it will be implemented.
