About Us:
Parents say British Swim School is quite simply the nation’s leading swim school,  and as we continue to expand the reach of our life-saving program, we’ll always want to hear from fun-loving, service-minded individuals who might fit into our award-winning team! 
The Position:
At British Swim School, our  Customer Experience team are known as Deck Ambassadors. This is a crucial poolside role – it’s the role that manages the all-important first impression and then keeps it going by maintaining warm relationships with families and students throughout their time as a part of our extended “swim family.”   
Lifeguard:
It is important that any candidate already possess a lifeguard certification or intend to become lifeguard certified within 90 days.  In addition to serving as a Deck Ambassador, this position also rotates through the Lifeguard role during the shift, ensuring the safety of our students and employees in the water.
Your Typical  Responsibilities:
  • Warmly welcoming new families and getting them off to a good start - getting to know the students and their parents. 
  • Setting up the pool deck area  before each shift.
  • Registering students for class and managing them in and out of the water between classes.  
  • Managing and celebrating the move-up/graduation process, our birthdays, and other milestones both at the pool.
  • Posting photos and videos to social media in a fun and personal way.
  • Assisting our parents with questions they have about their schedule and the progress of their children.
  • Promoting referrals for new enrollments.
  • Supporting the aquatics team by being an active participant in the safety of our swimmers and assisting when needed with swimmers who need help during the lessons.
  • Testing the water to ensure water  quality and  temperature.
 
 What do we need from you?
  • An enthusiastic, warm, but assertive personality who really loves talking to people and developing positive, friendly relationships.
  • An understanding of the importance of sticking to a good structure and a willingness to enforce essential safety procedures and policies in a fun and gentle manner! 
  • The ability to multi-task and not lose your sense of fun.
  • A genuine desire to help us decrease drowning for both children and adults.
  • The ability to pass the lifeguard prerequisites such as: (1) Swimming 300 yards non-stop; (2) Swimming 20 yards, picking up a brick from a depth of 6-9 feet, and swimming 20 yards back within 1 min and 30 seconds; and (3) Treading water with hands out of the water for 2 minutes.
What can you expect from us?
  • Flexible schedules - shifts between 4 to 5 hours; easy to schedule around other jobs or studies with highly competitive pay.
  • Being welcomed into a warm, fun culture with mission-driven managers who give back to the community and their staff.
  • The opportunity for growth in a business with massive expansion opportunities.
  • Structured, paid training (including first aid and lifeguard certification as needed).
  • PTO for part-time and full-time employees.
  • Happy, laughing, singing KIDS.
