What books is everyone reading about Leadership and developing leaders?

Last night, Meredith King joined me as a guest on Navigating Neva, and this episode was special to me. I’ve been meeting with Wes for a long time, and I’ve had the chance to meet Meredith in person, but having her as a guest on my podcast felt really exciting. More importantly, Meredith is a gem. We are very similar in the way we approach swim lessons — thoughtful, intentional, and focused on meeting swimmers where they are. I loved getting to hear more of her story, her business journey, and how she teaches. If you work in aquatics, teach swim lessons, or just love hearing from people who care deeply about this work, you should listen to this episode. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2nVijg7qlGk11r7a6K8IqT?si=O1iOddZgT7ezoitZaUsV4A

Got a question I've never had to deal with and I would like professional thoughts. Our janator told me they think an older gentleman with mobility issues, is leaving fecal matter on benches, seats and floor in the locker room and found some in the swim suit spinner today, a significant amount. I have passed it on to my director. We are going to be checking chems immediately after he leaves and operating on the protocol for suspected fecal. Every time he come to swim we pool will be closed for 30 minutes and shocking if needed. He comes at a minimum 3 days a week. We haven't found any fecal matter in the pool. Are there any products we could use to help him stay sanitary in the pool and our facilities that are good in water? What would you do to try and accommodate him but also keeping your facilities clean and patron safe?

In tonight's episode of Navigating Neva, Selena discussed how swim skills can become unintentionally gatekept when “prerequisites” turn into rigid myths. A thoughtful episode for swim instructors, aquatic professionals, parents, and anyone ready to rethink how we teach swimming with more awareness, flexibility, and respect for the individual swimmer. https://youtu.be/yKyiUuh3hk8
