New Wording

"2.3.2 At a minimum, Supervision in an Aquatic Facility is a minimum of 1 person over the age of 18 (Lifeguards may be younger however must be supervised by a person over 18) who:..."

This clause was not intended to stipulate the minimum age of a Pool Lifeguard but rather that a Lifeguard could be under the age of 18, however, if they were they required to be supervised by someone over the age of 18.
