Lifeguard Culture Starts at Camp: A Conversation with Shannon
What if lifeguard training wasn’t just a summer requirement — but part of your camp’s culture?
In this episode of Navigating Neva, Nicole and Wes sit down with Shannon, a powerhouse camp director and lifeguard instructor who’s redefining what leadership and safety look like in a camp setting. From why she trains her own guards, to how expectations shape behavior, Shannon shares actionable insights for anyone building teams, shaping culture, or raising water-smart kids.
🌊 Topics we dive into:
- Why becoming a lifeguard instructor changed her entire camp
- How safety leadership impacts staff retention and morale
- The ripple effect of community partnerships and proactive training
- Setting expectations that stick
- How a childhood in the water turned into a legacy of leadership
Whether you’re a camp director, aquatic supervisor, parent, or lifeguard — this episode is a reminder that water safety isn’t just a module. It’s a mindset.
