Aquatic Facility Operations & Management

Complete Aquatic Management Solutions

Swan Aquatics LLC was founded in August 2014 by Melissa Louise Swanson after a traumatic near-drowning incident during a private lesson. That defining moment drove a mission to address the critical shortage of qualified lifeguards and aquatic safety professionals.

Today, we deliver comprehensive facility management that covers every aspect of aquatic operations — from hiring and training to chemical management, compliance, programming, and beyond. Our team handles it all so you can focus on your community.

Our team manages the operational details so you can focus on your guests and community.

Roles We Staff

Service Coverage

Swan Aquatics staffing services are available across California (Northern & Southern), Nevada, and Arizona. Whether you need permanent staff, seasonal coverage, or event-specific lifeguards, we have the capacity and expertise to meet your needs.

Technology Driven Aquatics

Modern aquatic facility management requires modern tools. Swan Aquatics leverages proprietary technology platforms to centralize operations, enhance safety, and improve the member experience across all facility types.

Proprietary Management App

Our custom-built management application puts all critical facility operations in one accessible platform. Whether you're scheduling staff, tracking certifications, reporting incidents, or coordinating team communication, everything is accessible from any device.

Client Reporting Dashboard

Transparent, data-driven reporting keeps you informed. Our dashboard provides attendance tracking and analytics, comprehensive compliance reports and inspection records, incident and maintenance logs, and staffing schedules with training completion tracking.

Remote Pool Monitoring

Advanced sensor technology monitors chemical levels, water clarity, and equipment performance in real-time. Reduce unexpected downtime, enhance safety through proactive monitoring, and schedule maintenance before problems occur.

Digital Registration & Billing

Streamline member experiences with online member registrations, class enrollments, and event signups. Integrated payment processing reduces manual administrative work and improves cash flow.

Real-Time Compliance Tracking

Stay audit-ready with continuous compliance monitoring. Our system ensures ongoing compliance with Health Department and OSHA requirements, auto-generates compliance reports, tracks inspection readiness, and alerts your team to potential issues before they become violations.

Custom Multisite Platforms

For municipalities and large operators, we build branded microsites tailored to your community. Residents can view schedules, register for lessons and classes, access facility updates, and engage with your facility. Example: gilroyswim.com showcases our multisite platform capabilities.

Key Benefits of Our Technology Suite

Health & Compliance Oversight

Compliance is not optional. Swan Aquatics manages all aspects of health and regulatory compliance to protect your guests, staff, and facility from risk. Our Aquatic Facility Operators (AFOs) and compliance specialists ensure your facility meets and exceeds all local, state, and federal requirements.

Health Department Inspection Prep

We conduct thorough internal audits examining every aspect of operations, water quality, safety equipment, and signage. Our team identifies gaps before regulators do, allowing you to correct issues proactively. When official inspections occur, you're ready.

OSHA Compliance Management

Occupational safety is critical. We establish and maintain protocols for chemical handling, implement comprehensive injury reporting systems, provide staff training on safety procedures, and maintain documentation that demonstrates compliance.

Monthly & Seasonal Reporting

Consistent documentation is the foundation of compliance. We manage water testing results, compile incident reports, track staff certifications and recertifications, maintain maintenance schedules, and monitor equipment status.

Risk Management & Incident Oversight

Proactive risk management prevents emergencies. We develop emergency action plans, conduct regular safety drills, track all incidents systematically, implement corrective actions, and identify mitigation strategies.

Compliance Audit Support

When issues arise, our specialists conduct root cause analysis, develop corrective action plans, manage regulatory communications, and maintain documentation for accountability.
