Re:  —WSIT Academy

Approval is requested for Chris Musshafen to attend the American Red Cross Water Safety
instructor Academy.  Water Safety Instructor Trainers (WSIT) are certified to teach people ages
16 and older to become certified water safety instructors (WSI) and teach our swim lessons. If
accepted; | would prioritize training current and future staff while allowing outside participation
only if there were seats available.

Reasons for attending:

  1)  There are only a few WSITs in Western, NY and the one who has been able to run our
  classes for over 20 years retired last year
  2)  This would allow me to run classes in-house and retain revenue from the class.
  3)  This would allow our staff to stay in the Town of Aurora to conveniently get trained.

There.are three Water Safety Instructor Academies that are coming up this spring that would
allow me to complete them prior to the opening of the Aurora Community Pool. Due to last
year’s academy being canceled after | was accepted, | ask that | attend one of them prioritizing
them in chronological order.  If canceled, this would allow me to sign up for the next available
academy.

  Academy Location  Dates  Hotel (Approx.)  | Meals $30/day | Total
  ist Choice  | Raleigh, NC  4/26-5/2  $  700.00 | $  210.00  $910.00
