One of our primary goals is to streamline the registration process for Instructor Development Courses (IDC) and the Comprehensive Aquatic Management Program (CAMP). By integrating these registration options into the portal, users will be able to easily sign up for these essential programs, ensuring they have access to the best training and resources available.
2. Comprehensive Facility Documentation Suite
We understand the importance of thorough documentation for maintaining safety and compliance. Our future updates will include a full suite of tools for facility documentation purposes, such as:

- Equipment Checks: Monitor and document the condition of safety and operational equipment.
- Onboarding: Streamline the onboarding process for new staff members, ensuring they are properly trained and certified.
3. Global Messaging
Effective communication is key to maintaining safe and efficient operations. Introducing a global messaging feature that will allow facility managers to send important updates and announcements to their entire team instantly. This tool will help keep everyone informed and on the same page, enhancing overall coordination and response times.
4. Staff Scheduling Component
Looking further ahead, we are planning to develop a staff scheduling component. This feature will enable facility managers to create and manage staff schedules directly within the portal. By providing a centralized scheduling tool, we aim to simplify the process of organizing shifts, tracking availability, and ensuring adequate coverage at all times
