Full Job Description

Absolutely. For the Assistant Swim Coach, I'd keep the same overall structure and tone as the Head Developmental Coach, but position it as a supporting coach focused on athlete development, relationship building, and program execution rather than program leadership.

Assistant Swim Coach

Fox Valley Family YMCA Swim Team

Position Summary

The Assistant Swim Coach helps create a positive, athlete-centered environment where swimmers can develop skills, build confidence, and reach their individual goals. Working under the direction of the Head Swim Team Coach and Head Developmental Coach, this position supports daily practices, swim meets, and team activities while helping deliver a high-quality experience for athletes and families.

At the Fox Valley Family YMCA, we believe athletics are about more than competition. They are opportunities to develop character, perseverance, confidence, and meaningful relationships. The Assistant Swim Coach plays an important role in helping swimmers grow both in and out of the pool.

Head Swim Team Coach

Employment Status

Part-Time

Key ResponsibilitiesAthlete Development

Assist in leading swim team practices that promote skill development, proper technique, and athlete progression. Support swimmers of varying ages and abilities by providing instruction, encouragement, and constructive feedback. Help create an environment where athletes feel challenged, supported, and motivated to achieve their personal best.

Program Support

Work collaboratively with coaching staff to deliver a safe, organized, and engaging swim team experience. Assist with practices, swim meets, team events, and other program activities while helping ensure consistency across training groups. Support the implementation of team goals, coaching strategies, and YMCA swim team standards.

Family & Community Engagement

Build positive relationships with swimmers, families, volunteers, and fellow staff members. Serve as a positive role model by demonstrating professionalism, sportsmanship, and the YMCA's core values. Help foster a team culture where athletes feel welcomed, encouraged, and connected.

Safety & Risk Management

Maintain a safe and well-supervised environment by following YMCA, USA Swimming, and team policies and procedures. Ensure required certifications remain current and respond appropriately to emergencies while prioritizing the safety and well-being of all participants.

Qualifications

Minimum 16 years of age.
Previous competitive swimming experience preferred.
Previous coaching, teaching, or youth development experience preferred.
Current CPR, First Aid, AED, and Safety Training for Swim Coaches certifications, or ability to obtain upon hire.
YMCA and/or USA Swimming coaching credentials, or ability to obtain as required.
Knowledge of competitive swimming techniques and stroke development.
Ability to work effectively with children, teens, families, and fellow staff.
Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
Commitment to the YMCA mission, values, and youth development philosophy.

YMCA Leadership CompetenciesRelationship Building

Builds positive relationships with swimmers, families, and staff while helping create an environment where every participant feels welcome and supported.

Communication

Communicates clearly and professionally with athletes, families, and coaching staff while providing encouragement, instruction, and feedback.

Program Quality

Contributes to a high-quality swim team experience by supporting practices, meets, and team activities with consistency and professionalism.

Developing Others

Encourages effort, confidence, and personal growth while helping athletes develop skills both in and out of the pool.

Physical Requirements

The physical demands described here are representative of those required to successfully perform the essential functions of this position. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these functions.

This position requires the ability to stand, walk, bend, kneel, reach, and actively supervise swimmers for extended periods of time. The employee must be able to communicate effectively in a pool environment and occasionally lift or move equipment weighing up to 25 pounds. The ability to demonstrate swimming techniques and respond quickly in emergency situations is required.

Our Cause

At the Fox Valley Family YMCA, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work to ensure that children, families, and individuals have opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive. Through programs, relationships, and experiences, we create spaces where everyone belongs and has the support they need to reach their full potential.

The Assistant Swim Coach helps create experiences that build confidence, develop skills, and inspire a lifelong connection to swimming, healthy living, and the YMCA.

One thing I'd consider for both swim positions: replace "Our Cause" with "Why This Role Matters." That's more consistent with the modern, community-focused hiring language you've been moving toward and feels less like a copied YMCA template.

Pay: $16.00 - $20.00 per hour

Employee discount
Flexible schedule
Gym membership
