Minimum 5–7 years of progressive experience in aquatics, youth sports, or recreation program leadership.
Demonstrated success managing multi-program portfolios and leading teams.
Strong financial acumen including experience building and managing budgets, driving enrollment revenue, and analyzing program performance.
Deep knowledge of youth development principles, progressive skill-building curricula, and structured youth enrichment operations.
Experience working with or overseeing competitive sports programs and coaching staff strongly preferred.
Strong partnership development and community engagement skills.
Excellent communication skills with participants, families, staff, and organizational leadership.
Current CPR/AED and First Aid certification required.
Familiarity with USA Swimming, US Diving, or USA Water Polo governance preferred.

Essential Functions

Competitive Athletics – Swim, Dive and Water Polo

Serve as the Athletic Director for the YMCA’s competitive swim, dive, and water polo programs, providing strategic oversight, program direction, and organizational support to each team’s coaching staff.
Partner closely with head coaches to set team goals, build program culture, establish athlete development standards, and ensure each competitive program reflects the values and mission of the YMCA.
Build systems that support coach effectiveness and athlete experience, including scheduling, meet logistics, communication with families, and athlete recognition.
Ensure competitive programs are properly resourced, staffed, and positioned for growth, identifying opportunities to expand participation, strengthen community relationships, and elevate the YMCA’s reputation as a destination for competitive aquatics.
Champion the development of the whole athlete — ensuring every competitive participant grows not only in their sport but in leadership, character, and life skills that extend well beyond the pool.

Youth Development Strategy & Program Quality

Own the strategic direction, daily operations, and continuous improvement and growth of the YMCA’s full swim school program and community-based aquatic initiatives.
Establish and maintain program quality standards aligned with Red Cross WSI Swim Lesson curriculum and national best practices, ensuring a consistent and high-quality experience for every participant at every level.
Design and strengthen participant pathways that create a natural, well-supported progression from foundational swim lessons through intermediate programming and into competitive aquatics for those who are ready.
Analyze enrollment trends, session performance, and participant feedback to drive continuous improvement, identify growth opportunities, and ensure programming is responsive to community demand.
Develop and lead adaptive programming to serve as an entry point into inclusive YMCA programming.

Youth Extracurricular Programming & Partnerships

Develop, manage, and grow the YMCA’s youth extracurricular portfolio, with a focus on introductory and developmental programming that gives young people their first positive experience with organized athletics and enrichment programming.
Build and steward partnerships with schools, youth sports organizations, and community groups to expand access, co-develop programming, and grow the YMCA’s presence in the youth sports landscape.

Management and Risk

Champion child abuse prevention across all program areas, ensuring staff are trained, policies are enforced, and a culture of vigilance and reporting is embedded in daily operations.
Ensure all aquatic and youth sports and extracurricular programs meet or exceed applicable safety standards, regulatory requirements, and YMCA of the USA risk management guidelines.
Own the financial performance of the full program portfolio — swim school, competitive athletics, and youth sports and extracurricular programs— including annual budget development, revenue targets, expense management, and variance reporting.
Lead and develop a mixed team of direct reports and coordinators, creating clarity around roles, expectations, and growth pathways at every level of the team.
Recruit, hire, onboard, and retain high-quality swim instructors, program coordinators, and support staff, building a team that is mission-aligned, technically strong, and excellent with participants and families.
