The hours for this position could range anywhere from 6 – 15 hours per week and most practices are scheduled between 5:00-8:00 PM. This position is appropriate for either an experienced swim coach, or a person with a competitive swimming background who is interested in learning from some of our more experienced coaches. This role could lead to further opportunities on our coaching staff including becoming the lead coach for one of age group practice groups. You will need to possess a USA Swimming coaching credential or be willing to attain one rapidly by taking the necessary courses and attaining required certifications in CPR/AED, Athlete Protection, Concussions, etc.
