Clear Recreation helps pool operators, HOA boards, and aquatic facilities reduce liability, improve safety, and run compliant operations — before problems happen, not after.
Compliance Focused
Regional Expertise
Report Turnaround
Most pool operators are doing their best with limited guidance. National firms focus on litigation and expert witness work. Local pool companies clean filters and balance chemicals. Nobody in the Pacific Northwest is owning the middle.
Clear Recreation fills that gap — the hands-on, regional aquatic safety consultant who shows up at your facility, audits your operations, trains your guards, rewrites your EAP, and becomes the person you call before problems happen.
Whether you're building a new facility or improving an existing one, we help you create smart staffing plans, meet code requirements, and ensure long-term operational success.
Every recommendation is built around reducing liability exposure and protecting your organization from preventable incidents.
Detailed written reports that demonstrate due diligence — documentation that holds up under scrutiny from DOH, insurers, and attorneys.
We don't hand you a 50-page report and walk away. Every finding comes with a clear, prioritized recommendation you can implement immediately.
From one-time audits to annual partnerships, we cover every aspect of aquatic safety and operations.
Comprehensive on-site evaluation of your aquatic operation during active pool time — lifeguard positioning, supervision, facility condition, signage, and safety equipment.
Blind spot mapping, sight line analysis, and timed response drills from each guard station — hard data your board can use to make staffing and positioning decisions.
Review, rewrite, or build from scratch — Emergency Action Plans, SOPs, supervision plans, swim testing policies, and certification tracking systems.
Full certification courses, recertification, and scenario-based inservice training. We train guards to perform — not just pass a test.
Independent third-party verification that your guards can actually perform. Test rescues, CPR/AED/O2, spinal management, and team scenarios.
Seasonal and year-round facility management. We hire, train, schedule, and oversee your aquatic staff so your board doesn't have to.
Both options include a detailed written report with actionable recommendations your board can use to demonstrate due diligence.

Two of the most concrete, defensible services any aquatic facility can invest in.
We map every lifeguard station against the pool layout to identify blind spots, obstructed sight lines, and zones where a guard physically cannot see the bottom. Documented with photos, diagrams, and recommendations for repositioning or adding stations.
This is the kind of evidence that holds up in litigation — if a facility can prove they had a third-party zone validation on file, it demonstrates due diligence.
Zones should be revalidated whenever the facility layout, furniture placement, or staffing model changes.
We measure how long it takes a guard to reach the farthest point in their zone from their assigned station. Industry best practice targets recognition within 10 seconds and rescue contact within 20 seconds.
You get timed drills, documented results per station, and flags for any zones where response times exceed acceptable thresholds — hard data to drive staffing and positioning decisions.
10-second recognition. 20-second contact. We test it, document it, and show you exactly where the gaps are.
Your board wants to do the right thing but doesn't have aquatic expertise on staff. We become your safety advisor — auditing operations, training guards, rewriting your EAP, and making sure your pool is compliant before opening day.
Larger operations with more guards, more turnover, and more compliance pressure. We run skills validations, scenario-based inservices, and certification tracking audits to keep your team sharp and your risk low.
Complex facilities with high-volume operations, ride-specific training needs, and significant litigation exposure. We provide MAHC compliance evaluations, zone validations, and ongoing consulting retainers.
Let's talk about what your facility needs. We'll scope the engagement, send you a proposal, and get on your calendar.
