Mark Garneau replied to Molly McCarthy's discussion what is everyone doing about the new WSI LTS fees?
"The Red Cross should figure out that it is not worth spending all kinds of money becoming a WSI vs LGI, when you are going to make a lot less teaching 5 year olds.  If you want to keep your WSI submit 1 course record every 2 years. To keep…"

Mark Garneau replied to Kyle Alan Coplen's discussion JetMAX Pool Vacuum
"Great Discussion Topic -- I just logged on and was going to start one myself. A fellow University has the smaller Jet Max and they like it.  My only concern is with the multiple motors -- one goes out they all go out (I had the gemini). My one…"

Mark Garneau replied to Gary Thill's discussion What would you tell the justice department about ADA?
"Portable lifts -- has anyone tried moving a portable lift?  How about moving one with a cane?   We understand what they are trying to do -- but without doubt they will be making many pools less accessible (pools closing) than…"

Jake DeVries replied to Mark Garneau's discussion New ARC Material
"So the new "Surveillance Activity" are a huge waste of time. I'm skipping the videos from now on and just putting the class into rotation with my real guards and having the guards telling them what they see. My whole class agreed…"

Mark Garneau replied to Gary Thill's discussion Red Cross Learn-to-Swim Fees: What do you think of the new pricing?
"There are pros and cons but the bigger story has little to do with the swim lesson fees. Look at the entire email -- there is a little "*" after the swim lesson fee chart (I pasted it below).  The ARC should have made this policy from…"
