City of Kerrville

Rosa Ledesma, Parks & Recreation Specialist

In March, opening our facility was up in the air due to the uncertainty of COVID-19. E&A was quick to respond and get pertinent information out to clients. Modified training programs, graphics, videos, and weekly open communication helped us train lifeguards and open our facility safely. Their swift action and thorough planning made operating during the pandemic less difficult. We are proud to be part of the committed team that is Ellis and Associates.


Grand Junction Parks and Recreation

Larry Manchester, Recreation Supervisor

The Grand Junction Parks and Recreation Department has been an E&A client since 1996. In that time, not only has E&A been the driving force behind an impeccable record of aquatic safety at our facilities, but generations of our young lifeguards have learned the immeasurable value of accountability, professionalism, and teamwork they wouldn’t get elsewhere. E&A guards don’t just learn lifesaving skills, they learn instrumental life skills too. Our community benefits far beyond the pool deck from the quality of training and level of confidence lifeguards receive from E&A.


NRH2O Family Water Park

Frank Perez, General Manager

Ellis and Associates was an invaluable partner in our struggle to get approval to open for the 2020 season. They provided numerous resources that were very easy for us to adapt to our water park. Specifically, the lifeguard training plan allowed us to get quick approval from the various agencies required to conduct our pre-season lifeguard classes. Beyond that, their calls and meetings were extremely helpful and kept us heading in the right direction to open safely and smoothly. In a situation like we all faced in 2020, you tend to rely on your family. That is what E&A is to our industry. Not a faraway business that only cares about the bottom line, but a family that goes above and beyond to make sure it’s clients are taken care of and have the tools required to stay safe, be successful, and always on the cutting edge of aquatic safety.


City of Deer Park

Debra Culp, Athletic & Aquatics Supervisor

Deer Park Parks and Recreation made the switch to Ellis and Associates 6 years ago and it was the best decision we have ever made. From the very beginning, our Client Manager, Instructor Trainers, and Staff have been so welcoming and helpful in our Aquatic journey. The 2020 Aquatic Season has been an interesting year for many professionals. With the changing landscape, Ellis and Associates helped us navigate through all the issues that have arisen during COVID-19. I would highly recommend them for any assessment needs that anyone would encounter.


NRH Centre

Sarah Hageman, Aquatics Supervisor

The E&A info that was provided as we navigated re-opening with COVID risks was great! It was very thorough and easy to comprehend. There were lots of great resources available to reference in planning to re-open. The streamlined training for renewal, the new emergency procedures and sample forms have all been very helpful. We have also appreciated the updates as they happen to be sure we are on the same page and prepared. Our client manager has also been great in answering all my questions and being available to help.

Michigan's Adventure

I just wanted to thank you and your team for providing all the support that you did while we moved through this challenging season. I thought that E&A worked quickly and provided updates to support me, our instructors, and lifeguards through a successful year.
