What happens when you realize the certification system you're using isn't cutting it anymore?
In this powerful conversation, we hear from an aquatic director who made the leap from Red Cross to StarGuard Elite—and hasn’t looked back. From tighter audits and stronger guard performance to better staff support and improved safety culture, this switch wasn’t just a training change—it was a total program transformation.
We talk:
- Why the shift was necessary
- Hiring + retention struggles
- Dealing with disconnected leadership
- Creating a safety-first culture
- Going from lifeguard to leader
- Networking that truly grows your career
