Who Thrives in This Role?

You may be a great fit if you are someone who: 

Likes responsibility.

You do not need to be reminded repeatedly to follow up, respond to an email, or complete a task. You take ownership and close the loop. 

Is highly reliable. 

Our swimmers, families, and staff depend on consistency. You show up when expected and communicate proactively when something needs attention. 

Communicates well.

You are comfortable talking with children, parents, caregivers, coworkers, and supervisors. Your communication is timely, thoughtful, and professional. 

Can switch between teaching and administrative work. 

You are equally comfortable being active in the pool and sitting down afterward to manage schedules, return messages, or work through a wait list. 

Is coachable. 

You seek feedback, ask questions, and want to keep improving. 

Can problem-solve.

You can look at a scheduling or client issue, assess the situation, and use the tools and procedures provided to determine the next step. 

Wants a meaningful, long-term role.

We are looking for someone who wants to become an important part of their program and grow with Swim Angelfish over time. 

Physical Requirements

Adaptive swim instruction is an active, hands-on position. Employees must be able to safely perform the essential functions of the role, with or without reasonable accommodation. 

This may include: 

• Entering and exiting the pool repeatedly 

• Standing and moving in the water for extended periods 

• Working in close proximity to children 

• Physically assisting swimmers when appropriate 

• Maintaining a safe and organized pool environment 

• Responding quickly when needed to support swimmer safety 

Why Swim Angelfish?

Swim Angelfish specializes in adaptive aquatics for children with disabilities and diverse support needs. 

Our Aquatic Coordinators play an important role in both the quality of our swim instruction and the experience families have outside of the pool. 

This position offers the opportunity to develop expertise in adaptive aquatics while also building valuable skills in program coordination, client communication, scheduling, and operations. 

We are looking for people who want to do more than pick up an occasional shift. We want team members who are excited to become knowledgeable, dependable leaders within their programs and grow with our organization. 

If you are compassionate, organized, reliable, coachable, and excited by a role that combines hands-on work with children and program coordination, we would love to hear from you.
