Re:
RETURNING STAFF INFORMATION
Congratulations! This letter is to inform you that based on your successful performance last summer; you are invited to be
a part of the 2015 G.V.R.D. Aquatics Team. As you know, our staff is an elite group of professionals who undergo
extreme physical and mental training throughout their summer here at Cunningham Pool and the Vallejo Plunge. Last
summer we expanded our winning streak and took 1st place for the 5th time in 10 years in the NorCal Guard games and
we’re looking to make it a four-peat this year! This summer we have some exciting new X-Games to roll out and some
social events that you are not going to want to miss! Also, the wages listed on the letter of intent page should all be going
up on January 1, 2016 and hopefully starting lifeguard wages will go up by $1.00 starting July 1st!
Below you will find the items necessary for working this upcoming spring and summer season. Please review them
carefully, print out, fill out, and mail/email or drop them in my box no later than April 20th, 6pm.
If you plan on returning to work this year, please fill out the Letter of Intent with all the pertinent information. Be
sure to let us know your plans for the springtime as well as summer. Identify the position(s) for which you would consider
applying. Please return this form as soon as possible, but absolutely no later than April 20th. If we receive your packet
after the deadline, you will have to re-interview for any position and your position will not be saved. If you do not plan on
working for GVRD this summer, fill out the “Notification of not returning” or send me an email stating as such. Because
of the time required for interviews, we pre-screen anyone applying for a Sr. Staff spot and only interview those most
qualified.
1. The second form, Individual Staff Contract, is to be completed with all your time off for the summer. Please complete
this form in its entirety. Note the staff meetings listed on the first page and put them on a personal calendar so you and
your family know the mandatory training dates. The meetings are mandatory and must be attended if you plan on
working. Notify your parents so they don’t schedule anything on those dates.
•
IMPORTANT NOTE: Every day of Semana Giganissimo is MANDATORY except for the recert days. We
take our training very seriously, so your attendance is critical for your understanding of pool operations and
emergency procedures. Please initial that form and return it.
2. Fill out the Summer Preferences form and log on to whentowork.com by May 8th and go to “the time I prefer to
work” to fill in all the times you requested on your “Blue Sheet.” The Blue Sheet will be the master copy if there is a
discrepancy online.
3. The clothing order sheet is a simple way to ensure you have the clothing you need prior to the summer starting. Any
orders we receive after April 20th may not be filled until after the start of summer. We will continue to offer our new
clothing line with some awesome new additions, like our official Aquatics Patch, and the Lifeguard Republic, so be
sure to get some of the new gear!
If you have any questions, please email [email protected]

Greater Vallejo Recreation District
AQUATICS DIVISION
INDIVIDUAL STAFF CONTRACT
I,
, am available to work for the Greater Vallejo Recreation District
(GVRD) for the Aquatics division during the 2015 season.
I understand that the GVRD Aquatic Staff is a seasonal position, and the busiest time of the season is from June to
August. For this reason, I will be available to work during this period, except for the dates listed on my blue sheet.
§
Time off should be limited. The summer season is only 8 weeks long and extensive vacation and leave schedules
will limit your chances of being rehired for the summer.
•
It is at the discretion of the Aquatics Supervisor to accept or decline an Individual Staff Contract based on the
amount of vacation requested.
§
Once your Individual Contract is accepted, all scheduling will be done on an availability basis. The more vacation
and leave time requested the lower priority you will receive when being scheduled for hours.
Employees will be allowed excused time off for family emergencies (life-threatening condition or death) with written note
and medical conditions / emergencies with doctor’s note, or circumstances deemed reasonable by the Aquatics
Supervisor.
Any time off including whole days, half days, or shift substitutions, taken outside of the approved blue sheet will result in a
breach of contract. A breach of contract may result in termination of duties at the end of the season.
I affirm to my knowledge I am not suffering from any health-related illness that would prevent me from executing the duties
as described to me in the hiring. I also affirm that I do not suffer from any illnesses or physical conditions other than those,
which I have informed you of and provided you with written approval from my physician to perform the duties required.
I have read this contract and fully understand its terms and my commitment to the Greater Vallejo Recreation District –
Aquatics Division, and sign it freely and voluntarily.

*LGT recert day: We will recertify you for the cost of certs, but come prepared because it is a challenge
course, and you should know your stuff! If you cannot make it, you will need to get recertified somewhere else
before you can begin work. If your cert doesn’t expire until next year, you still need to get your skills approved
for the summer on this date or on the June 20th makeup day.
•
**Title 22 certification: we will offer the certification for the cost of certs if you come on the date listed above.
Otherwise you will have to find somewhere else to be certified before you can begin working.
•
Both Title 22 and Recert Day will be unpaid Certification Days unless you are an instructor. Both classes will
be offered for the cost of the certs.
