About This Activity
Description
Become a Junior Swim Instructor!
The Junior Instructor program will consist of a five-week program in addition to committing to two full weeks of swim lessons, Monday through Thursday. Weeks do not need to be consecutive. Junior Instructors who successfully complete the American Red Cross Adult and Pediatric CPR, AED, and First Aid material receive a certificate valid for two years.
As a junior instructor, they will collaborate with experienced lead instructors and assist in managing groups of swimmers. This will help them develop leadership abilities, responsibility, and teamwork skills in a supportive environment.
Junior Instructors will learn how to effectively communicate swimming techniques to others, demonstrate skills clearly, and provide constructive feedback to help students improve. This will enhance their ability to teach and engage with a variety of learners.
Ensuring the safety of swimmers is a top priority. Junior Instructors will learn how to monitor students closely and create a safe learning environment in and around the water, which is critical for any swim instructor role.
Participants will gain the following: - Leadership and Teamwork - Teaching and Communication Skills - Effective resume and interview development - Water Safety Skills - American Red Cross Adult and Pediatric CPR, AED, and First Aid Certification
