Complete daily safety inspections and maintain a clean, organized, and safe aquatic environment.
Accurately complete required reports, incident documentation, and attendance records.
Assist with opening procedures and preparing the pool for daily operations.
Support aquatics programs, special events, and branch activities as needed.
Demonstrate the YMCA's Core Values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility in every interaction.

QUALIFICATIONS

Swim, rescue, and remove participants from the water when necessary.
Stand, walk, bend, kneel, reach, and lift up to 50 pounds.
Work in a warm, humid pool environment and outdoors when required.
Hear noises and distress signals and communicate clearly in emergency situations.

OUR CULTURE

At the Fox Valley Family YMCA, we're more than a workplace—we're a community. Every interaction is an opportunity to strengthen our mission of putting Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.
