Job Description & Details

Passion, enthusiasm and a positive attitude toward development; it’s what we instill in our swimmers, and what we are looking for in a new Head Age Group Coach.

High 5, Inc. is a forward-thinking community non-profit that empowers Blue Wave Swimming to create an environment that fosters the development of champions in and out of the pool. We are unique in that we are not a parent run board. Our staff has the freedom to utilize our facilities as needed and implement our seasonal plans without parental oversight. This is a great opportunity to come in, be a part of a dynamic team and make a positive impact on the lives of the people in our community.

We are seeking an energetic, enthusiastic, and innovative Head Age Group Coach to lead our growing age group program. High 5’s Blue Wave Swim Team is a dynamic, growing club that operates out of its own

In addition, we have a new ten (10) lane twenty-five (25) yard pool that is heated as well as chilled for those sizzling summer months in Florida, as well as a small teaching pool that serves our drown prevention pillar as it caters to the critical age group between 1-4 years old.

Familiarity with Team Unify and/or other meet software is a definite plus. While we do enjoy some admin support, team admin is part of the job, thus, training and competition scheduling needs, attendance taking, meet entries and the like are all part of the position as well.

• Running workouts for 25+ Senior level swimmers Aged 13&up
• Attend all swim meets for perspective groups
