Summer Swim Team Coach

We seek friendly, positive Swim Coaches to join our program. We coach swimmers of all levels, from first-time swimmers to competitive event swimmers. As a part of our instructor team, you will teach swimmers with a wide range of skills, experience, and circumstances. You help swimmers define and achieve their swimming goals, help athletes refine their strokes and cut times, and promote an inclusive atmosphere in which everyone feels welcome.

The most important thing is that swimmers enjoy their involvement with the team.
