Must be at least 18 years of age
Prior experience as a swim instructor, lifeguard, or competitive swimmer preferred

- Lifeguard Certification (or willingness to obtain)
- CPR/AED and First Aid (or willingness to obtain within 30 days of hire)

A Typical Day May Include:

Teaching swimming and water safety to individuals or small groups
Adapting lessons based on ability, developmental level, or sensory needs
Using creative methods and positive reinforcement to build confidence
