At Upper Valley Aquatic Center, water safety is our top priority. As we head into the busy summer swim season, it's important to understand the real risks—and how we can work together to prevent them.

What Our Guard Staff Have to Say About Their Important Job

When we give the gift of service it can help us feel content, knowing the difference we are making. Our lifeguards give this gift every time they grab their whistle, put on their bright red shirt, and begin the constant scan of the pool. We spoke to several members of the aquatics staff here at Upper Valley Aquatic Center to get their perspective on the work they do, their motivations, and their safety tips.
