Position Summary:
At Pro Swim Academy we believe swimming is an essential life-saving skill. As a Swim Instructor, you aren’t just a coach—you’re a "celebrity" to our students and a hero to their parents. You will provide high-quality, results-driven instruction in a warm, supportive environment, ensuring that every child (from 4 months to 18 years) and adult feels safe and confident in the water.
Duties:
- Deliver Excellence: Teach engaging, safe, and fun swim lessons based on the MSS curriculum, maintaining a maximum student-to-teacher ratio.
- Emergency Response: Be prepared to act immediately and appropriately in the event of an emergency, utilizing your Lifeguard and CPR training.
- Student Assessment: Evaluate student progress regularly, adjust teaching methods to meet individual needs, and decide when a student is ready to move to the next level.
- Safety First: Maintain constant surveillance of students; enforce pool rules strictly but fairly to prevent accidents.
- Communication: Act as a brand ambassador by providing parents with clear, enthusiastic feedback on their child’s progress and achievements.
- Facility Care: Assist with the setup and breakdown of lane lines and equipment. Ensure the pool deck and locker rooms remain clean and organized.
What We’re Looking For:
- Passion for Kids: You genuinely enjoy working with children (ages 4 months to 13 years) and possess the patience to help them overcome water anxiety.
- Growth Mindset: You are eager to learn and adapt. MSS provides extensive training, so a willingness to grow is more important than years of prior experience.
- Reliability: You are punctual and dependable, especially for afternoon and weekend shifts.
- Physical Stamina: Ability to stay in the water for up to 5 hours and lift/move equipment or children weighing up to 50 lbs.
- Age Requirement: Must be at least 15+ years of age
