Oakville Swim Academy

Working at the Oakville Swim Academy was a great experience. I had the opportunity to work with many different people, and kids from 0 to 14 years of age. 
Teaching swimming to kids is very enjoyable, as you must be high-energy, enthusiastic, and fun-loving. I learned to work with children as well as communicate with their families. 
The management is very well organized, and all the staff is super friendly - it always felt like I belonged there. We worked to make sure every patron felt accepted and important. 
The hardest part of this job is definitely keeping up the energetic attitude throughout the whole of your shift. Working back to back classes is fun, but it can be draining as you must be happy and enthusiastic with every group of kids, as well as when speaking with parents. This both made the job difficult, as well as enjoyable - it's dependent on your personality type and if you are good with people.

I actually really enjoyed working here for the most part. There is lots of room for advancement and the environment is fun. I met some lifelong friends here. 
The culture changes from year to year. Unfortunately if the general manager and their lackey's don't like you, you won't have their respect and they'll do their best to intimidate you. But again, that can change like a snap of your fingers.
The owner is lovely and tries her absolute best to make this a really fun and safe place to work, while consistently trying to make her company better for staff and clients.
I would recommend working here fully, but keeping management at a distance with a more professional relationship - regardless of how tempting it is to develop personal friendships with them. 

In prior to going to the interview for the Oakville Swim Academy, I kept seeing good reviews about the place. I thought it would be a good place to start a career. Unfortunately, the workplace was rather underwhelming! The pool was rather dirty and got several rashes from the pool, which had a huge load of chlorine. Dealing with crazy parents was one thing, but the staff in here made me stay away from the place. The staff were too much to handle for me and they barely treated me with respect despite me listening and cooperating with them. I must admit, although the staff sucked, the management was decent at best.

Management gives alot of opportunities & there is plenty of communication. They go above & beyond to say thank-you to staff.If you are in need they are there to support.Regular training available as well as expected which to ensure that all staff are on the same page.Few bad reviews about the pool being dirty is FALSE & bad management probably from disgruntled employee.

- extremely unorganized and very poor leadership from managers
- lack of training
- stressful due to no leadership (you are dealing with situations you are not prepared for with no support)
- no training
- salary is good
- lots of available hours
- fun coworkers 
- pool is disgusting and dirty

They had no consistency between Managers which made my job more difficult trying to please everyone but some saying to do things oppositely of how we were trained which helped even less. Also they move down most of their managers when their friends come back from University to let them be managers 

At Atlantis all the co workers are very friendly and so are the managers and supervisors. As a lifeguard you work on your own with your class, but the supervisors would watch and critique when needed. The best party of my job is seeing the smiles on children's faces when you learn something new or pass a level.

Working at Oakville Swim Academy was a very rewarding experience where I learned many valuable skills and gained many strong relationships  and values. Working there was very comfortable as the communication between employees and managers was very frequent and help was always provided if needed.

It was great working at the swim academy, every day was entertaining and exciting. My manager was a phenomenal leader and taught me a lot about guarding and instructing. The hardest part of the job was teaching a class of 6, 3 year olds but the most enjoyable part was also teaching those 3 year olds and getting to know them.

I am a hard worker friendly person. The staff are excellent and friendly. The managers are friendly excellent I woke up Walmart I have been there for four years. I do shopping carts carry outs. Walmart is a big company in America and around the world
