we start each class with basic greetings and then jump right into our lessons. I started this job being a swimmer which meant I knew a good deal of things about swimming but I left that job knowing so much more; new techniques and better ways of going about certain strokes. Management to me was OK, of course there were things they could of did better but nobody perfect. The hardest part of my job was sometimes keeping the kids focus and getting them to do certain strokes that they found difficult. The most enjoyable part of my job was seeing the parents smile when they see their child accomplish something new.

The lessons were great and the children always enjoyed pool time. Did not like the manager she did not care about anything but herself. Had her favorites fired me because I had a lot of emotional things going on at the time

Supposed to get a raise every year but they hid the fact of the annual pay raise and technically pocketed money that was supposed to go to me for years

Learn how to verbalize instructions in an efficient manner.  A typical day is teaching anywhere from 1 person to coaching a team of 40+ swimmers. Coworkers are generally a pleasure to be around.

Overall experience here was good. Sometimes gets a little hectic and disorganized, but happens every once in a while. It’s more fun when you have coworkers to talk to.
