What are the responsibilities and job description for the Swim Instructor position at Penguin's Swim School?
We are seeking fun, flexible, and motivated Swim Instructors to join our team and contribute to the success of our program for the 2025 Summer Season! The ideal candidate will have a passion for water safety, excellent communication skills, and the ability to create a positive and inclusive learning environment for swimmers of all ages and skill levels.
Our main location is in Marlton, New Jersey- but we offer "at home" lessons to the Medford and Marlton area, as well as lessons at the lakes in Medford Lakes. Because of our at home lessons, we prefer to hire those with a drivers license and access to a vehicle. Those without would have less lessons to conduct.
Responsibilities:
- Conduct Swimming Lessons:
- Plan and execute swim lessons in accordance with established curriculum and program guidelines.
- Instruct individuals or groups in various swimming techniques, strokes, and water safety skills.
- Adapt teaching methods to accommodate different age groups and skill levels.
- Ensure Safety:
- Maintain a strong emphasis on water safety and enforce pool rules to create a secure and controlled learning environment.
- Monitor and assess swimmers' progress, providing constructive feedback for improvement.
- Communication:
- Communicate effectively with students and their parents or guardians to convey progress, address concerns, and provide guidance on skill development.
- Collaborate with other swim instructors and staff to coordinate lesson schedules and share insights.
- Emergency Response:
- Be prepared to respond to emergencies and administer first aid or CPR as needed.
- Follow established emergency procedures and protocols.
- Promote Program Participation:
- Actively promote and market swim programs to increase participation and attract new swimmers.
- Assist in organizing and participating in promotional events to showcase the benefits of our swim programs.
Qualifications:
- Current lifeguard OR CPR certification (or willingness to obtain certification)- amount of lessons awarded will be determined by certification.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to work flexible hours.
- Patience and a positive attitude when working with diverse groups of swimmers.
- Knowledge of child development and effective teaching methods for different age groups.
- 15 years of age or older
- Possession of a driver's license and access to a vehicle. Due to the high demand of "at home" lessons, most instructors will have to travel a short distance to conduct lessons (with gas reimbursement). If applicant does not have a driver's license and is hired, they will likely have less lessons to give due to demand.
If you are passionate about water safety, enjoy teaching, and have the skills to inspire and guide swimmers, we invite you to apply for this rewarding position. Join our team and make a positive impact on the lives of individuals through the joy of swimming!
Once you apply, please wait for a response. If selected, you will be sent another application and you will be asked to set up an interview time, which will be via zoom. In the interview, we will disclose more details about the job!
