Aquatics Training

In 1997, the  IPARKS Board partnered with Jeff Ellis and Associates to provide IPARKS members with lifeguard training, aquatics risk management and pool operation education and training at a reduced rate.   IPARKS partnered with an additional aquatics risk management vendor,  Starfish Aquatics Institute, in 2009, to further enhance the pool operation education and training services offered to  IPARKS members. And, in 2018, American Red Cross was added as an approved vendor. These aquatic training partners provide audits and reviews for those members who utilize the services. As a benefit to its members, in 2018,  IPARKS will reimburse its Members up to $500 for training and auditing services provided by Jeff Ellis and Associates, Starfish Aquatics Institute, or American Red Cross.
