I started thinkng about this after swimming this morning at ASU and once again seeing that the 3 guards on duty were not in any of the chairs but instead were in the office texting and playing on duty.
So what happens if God forbid a swimmer is injured or dies in workout (I guess even if the guard is on duty)...can they sue the coach?
I know USMS has an insurance program for clubs and being to lazy wonder is anyone knows if it covers this?
I also wonder how many paidand/or volunteer coaches have any type of contract for this sort of thing?
I'm unoffically our coach, and the only thing that bothers me is that our lap pool is closed, but since there is a swim school in the other multi purpose pool several parents and even kids always try to sneak in. the guards aren't on duty until we are done, so who should kick these people out, me or the facilty staff (nonguards)?
