Full Job Description

Experience & Schedule Availability

Overview

The Lead Swim Instructor assists with overseeing the daily operations, safety, and instructional quality of the aquatics department’s swim lesson programs across both indoor and outdoor pools. This is a full-time, 40-hour per week position that balances hands-on teaching with administrative leadership, coordinating schedules for group, private, and specialized swimming lessons. Approximately 1/2 of the time in this role will be dedicated to administrative tasks, and 1/2 of the time will be spent actively serving as a swim instructor. The Lead Swim Instructor supervises and mentors instructional staff, ensures adherence to curriculum standards, manages instructor coverage and shift vacancies, and maintains a welcoming, high-energy environment for participants and families.

Responsibilities:

Lesson Scheduling & Roster Management

Instructor Scheduling: Assist with creating, maintaining, and publishing weekly or monthly schedules for instructional staff to ensure all group classes, private lessons, and clinics are properly staffed, filling in as a sub as necessary.
Coverage Coordination: Manage instructor shift trades, approve time-off requests, and proactively secure substitute instructors for last-minute absences filling in as a substitute instructor when required—to avoid class cancellations.
Emergency Instructional Support: Step into the water and teach active swim lessons immediately when backup instructor coverage cannot be found, ensuring seamless program continuity.
Roster & Class Tracking: Monitor student enrollment, coordinate deck placements, and manage student tracking logs to ensure proper class leveling and student-to-instructor ratios.

Supervision, Curriculum & Mentorship

Curriculum Enforcement: Oversee the implementation of the swim lesson curriculum (American Red Cross or equivalent), ensuring consistent, high-quality instruction across all skill levels.
Staff Mentorship & Training: Lead regular in-service trainings for instructional staff, audit teaching techniques, and mentor junior or seasonal instructors on class management and safety.
Skill Evaluations: Oversee or conduct student swim assessments to ensure proper class placement, and coordinate the distribution of progress reports and achievement certificates.
Attend regularly scheduled Fitness & Aquatics management team meetings and serve as a Lead on Duty.
Monitor staff records and certifications and provide reports to management as directed.
Maintain professional image and manner constant with the JCC’s mission and goals.
Other duties as assigned by manager. Additional duties to assist the Fitness & Aquatics department will be required.

Program & Member Support

Customer Service: Act as the primary point of contact for parents and members regarding swim lesson progress, registration, scheduling adjustments, and program details.
Conflict Resolution: Address and constructively resolve member or parent concerns regarding student placement, instructor assignments, or progress tracking.
Event Logistics: Coordinate seamless transitions on the pool deck between swim lessons, lap swimming, and group fitness classes, maximizing space utilization and safety.
Teach Red Cross WSI classes up to 5 times/year.
Coordinate youth swim/camp programs with camp and ECE staff.

Safety & Deck Operations

Deck Supervision: Maintain high visibility on the pool deck during peak lesson hours to support instructors, monitor student safety, and ensure proper equipment setup and teardown.
Emergency Readiness: Assist lifeguards during incidents, serving as a secondary first responder, managing crowd control on the deck, or directing students safely out of the water.
Equipment Maintenance: Inspect and maintain instructional equipment (kickboards, pull buoys, platforms, and teaching toys) daily for cleanliness, safety, and organization.

Qualifications

Job Type: Full-time, 40 hours per week.
Experience: Minimum of 2 years of active experience teaching swim lessons to diverse age groups (infants through adults) and skill levels, preferably in a multi-pool or fitness center environment.
Leadership: Prior experience assisting with program coordination, lesson scheduling, deck management, or staff training is highly desirable.
Scheduling Availability: Must maintain a flexible 40-hour weekly schedule—including late afternoons, evenings, and weekends—to align with peak youth and adult swim programming hours.
Supervisorial experience preferred, but not required

Certifications & Instructional Skills

Primary Certification: Water Safety Instructor (WSI) certification (American Red Cross or equivalent) is required.
Advanced Training: Lifeguard Instructor (LGI) or specialized certifications in adaptive aquatics or infant swim instruction are highly preferred.
Safety Credentials: Current Lifeguarding/First Aid/CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer certification.
Hold or acquire (within first 1-year of employment) Red Cross WSIT certificate.

Physical Demands & Work Environment

Physical Stamina: Ability to spend extended periods in the water teaching and demonstrating swim strokes, and the physical capacity to assist or rescue students if necessary.
Environment: Comfort working in humid indoor aquatic facilities and variable outdoor weather conditions (sun, heat, wind) for prolonged shift durations.
