Calling All Instructors
In our mission to provide our diverse community with the means to enjoy a safe and fun aquatics experience, we are looking for instructors in aquatics based activities.
We would appreciate your comments on our programs and staff. We strive to improve our organization and courses so we can offer the best possible experience.
Important
We ask that all parents read the following information. Not only will it answer many questions you may have, but you will be able to tell your children what they will be doing and learning. We believe this will make them more enthusiastic about their lessons as well as eager to learn.
Medical Problems
Medical histories should be available at pool site for students with medical problems. Inform staff upon registration of any special accommodations needed.
Instructors and Aides
Water Safety Instructors and Instructor Aides are certified by the American Red Cross.
WARNING!
A certificate from any one of our classes does not ensure against drowning. Panic is the major cause of drowning and even a good swimmer can panic. Parents should at all times watch children around water, even when a lifeguard is on duty. Parents know their child's ability level and can spot a problem more quickly than a lifeguard. Never assume that a child is safe in a swim ring, inner-tube, float toy, or holding onto a kickboard. The child may float into water over their head or lose their floating support and find themselves too far from safety.
Swim Lesson Goals
- Safety of all students.
- Provide a positive and happy experience.
- Teach students to enjoy the water.
- Impart the life skill of swimming.
- Educate on water safety.
- Emphasize self-help which is the ability to get oneself out of a dangerous situation by not panicking, rolling over onto the back, floating, and calling for help or by swimming to the side and calling for help and getting out.
Evaluation of Skills
Evaluations will be done by program supervisors for strokes that students swim for 25 yards or more and evaluations will be done by instructors if the stroke is swam for less than 25 yards. Evaluations are completed on the 7th and 8th day of class. All students receive a certificate listings skills taught and evaluated. Instructors will indicate on the certificate the class that students should enroll in next. Most children require more than one session in a particular level before advancing to the next level. Endurance, coordination, and comfort in the water contribute to the student's progress. Remaining in a level for more than one session does not mean the child has not improved, but that more practice is needed to improve current skills and prepare for more advanced skills of the next level.
