Pool and lake locations

Venues (Training → Venues, /admin/locations) are the reusable pools, lakes, ocean sites and classrooms you run classes at. Set each one up once, then pick it from the Venue list when posting a class instead of retyping the address every time.

Add a location

1. Open Locations under Students & Training and create a new one.
2. Name it the way staff say it, for example “Community Pool” or “Lake Travis”.
3. Set Type: Pool (Confined Water), Lake, Ocean, Classroom / Academics or Other. The type filters the picker, so a pool day only offers pool locations.
4. Enter the Street address, then City, State and ZIP. The whole address goes into every student confirmation email and onto the shop calendar; only the city is ever shown publicly.
5. Leave Public label override blank unless the city is the wrong thing to publish — a private home pool is better listed as “Private (by appointment)” than by its owner’s town.
6. Add Park fee — Divers and Park fee — Non-divers if the site charges entry.
7. Add Waiver link — Adults and Waiver link — Students / Minors if the site runs its own liability waiver. Both go into the confirmation email, labelled.
8. Use Notes for parking, gate codes or what to bring, then Save.

Using a location

• In Post a Class, each day’s Venue list shows active locations of that day’s type. + Add new venue opens this form in a new tab.
• Email class info to roster in the class editor pulls the address, waiver links and show-up time from the location.
• Untick Active in the sidebar to retire a site without deleting past classes that used it.
