• A. Incident reporting plan
• B. Staffing plan
• C. Emergency procedures
• D. Training plan

Answer: (B)

Active supervision relies on a clear lineup of who is responsible for monitoring swimmers and enforcing rules at all times. The element of the aquatic safety plan that designates the safety team members, defines each person’s roles and responsibilities, and codifies the procedures followed to maintain active supervision is the staffing plan. It ensures proper coverage, a defined leadership structure, and a predictable chain of command during shifts, rotations, and incidents. This is distinct from incident reporting, which covers how events are documented; emergency procedures, which outline steps to take during emergencies; and a training plan, which focuses on teaching staff the skills and drills they need to perform.
