The Aquatics Director will have input into scheduling, hiring, training, and dismissal of instructors relating to the Swimming Program. Director must be organized, efficient, enthusiastic, professional, and a team player. You will work closely with the General Manager to ensure all classes are productive and all swim instructors are following the guidelines. The most important aspect is to ensure all students are learning and progressing and being taught in a manner that is developing the student’s self esteem. This position requires you to be detailed oriented and to exhibit lots and patience and understanding. This position requires that you are available to work evenings and weekends since the bulk of our programs take place when children are out of school.
