Deep breath.....
Lets use this thread to make recommendations or create a wish list of changes we would like see made to the sanctioning / insurance process. I think there are a bunch of good ideas buried in the "stupid people" thread... so I expect a little bit of cut and paste will be in order. Please educate yourselves by reading the relevant documents.
Peace, love, and positive buoyancy.....
Thanks for starting this Dave!
A cut and paste from the thread that shall remain unnamed…
The Open Water Committee is working towards training and certification courses for event directors, safety directors and referees; we’ve talked about boater safety training as well, but we wanted to tackle the big 3 first. And I encourage any interested members to provide feedback on the currently available Open Water Manual,
Open Water Safety Objectives, Open Water Safety Workshop Notes and Open Water Clinic Manual which can be found at www.usms.org/.../
I am working on the Open Water Committee’s Guide to Operations sub-committee and I am truly interested in the thoughts and suggestions on how to improve the documents referred to above and how we can get information better disseminated to the event directors, coaches, and swimmers.
