Location: 400 Immanuel Road, Pflugerville, TX 78660
Since 2008, Kyle has held the position of Aquatics Programs Supervisor for the City of New Braunfels, and am responsible for the Landa Park Aquatics Complex, housing the 1.5 million gallon Historical Spring-Fed Pool, as well as the City Tube Chute on the Comal River. He got his start in aquatics in 2005 as part of the Water Park Operations Team at the Coco Key Water Resort in Chicago. In mid 2006, he moved back to Texas and became an Aquatics Director for the South County YMCA in The Woodlands, TX. Since arriving in New Braunfels, Kyle has been fortunate enough to be able to participate in TAAF and TRAPS, but is now looking to take on a leadership role within TPPC.
Kyle would like to see Region 5 use more of it's resources, so that all its members may benefit. One of his main goals would to be to create a "Regional Training Database", that would list each city's certified LGI/LGIT's and WSI/WSIT's and who is available for contract hiring to teach classes. It would also include a year round, updated training schedule for cities and facilities. This would allow staff to obtain specific certifications or "co-teach" within the Region to help out other members. He would also like to see more communication within the Region. A monthly email distributed with information about programs, facilities and ways to keep staff motivated and safe. Lastly, he would like to facilitate meeting up 1-2 times a year outside of the Conference to share ideas and talk about what's working and latest updates on codes/rules/regulations. Kyle feels that Region 5 is full of great aquatics personnel that should be helping each other to keep its pools and facilities safe!
