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
twelve (12) plus acres facility just twenty (20) minutes or so east of downtown Tampa. We have a recently renovated eight (8) lane fifty (50) meter pool with a dive well and additional cut out for swim lessons. 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. We also have dedicated classroom and dryland space (inside and out), and as stated above, pool space is not an issue.
The Head Age Group Coach’s focus will be helping develop and implement innovative educational and training programs for our fourteen (14) and under swimmers. Creativity and an ability to teach the art of swimming by creating a healthy training environment is what we are looking for in this candidate.
The role includes overseeing the lessons-to-team and seasonal program options. The Head Age Group coach will work with our senior swimmers and other training groups as well. The prospect of attending morning sessions, weekend workouts and long week or weekend meets should excite you.
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.
Assistant Coach Minimum Responsibilities:
- Planning and running workouts for 75+ Age group level swimmers-Aged 7&up
- Running workouts for 25+ Senior level swimmers Aged 13&up
- Attend all swim meets for perspective groups
Assistant Coach Minimum Requirements:
- Experience working with age group or senior level swimmers
- Bachelor’s degree preferred
- Experience implementing season long plans
Salary is negotiable based on experience.
