In this dynamic and rewarding role, you will supervise aquatic activities with a focus on safety, lead both individual and group swimming lessons, and help swimmers of all ages build confidence and skills in the water.

This is a great opportunity for an individual with a high level of interest in working with the YMCA HBB as a charitable organization.

What You'll Do:

Lifeguarding and Safety Oversight: The primary responsibility is to provide consistent lifeguard coverage, ensuring the safety of all pool users. This includes upholding YMCA policies and health regulations while delivering excellent customer service to members and participants.
Aquatic Program Instruction and Coaching: The role involves teaching, guarding, and coaching a variety of aquatic programs. Staff are expected to develop lesson plans, conduct progressive evaluations, and maintain accurate records related to instruction and participant progress.
Facility and Equipment Maintenance: Experience with pool chemicals and cleaning supplies is essential for maintaining water quality and deck equipment. Staff are responsible for ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the aquatic environment.
