Swim instructor

**Role Overview**

As a coach in Mandeville, you aren't just watching laps; you are a technician of the water. You will be responsible for delivering one-on-one, high-intensity, and adaptive lessons designed to transition students from water-shy to independent swimmers in a matter of weeks.

### **Core Responsibilities**

 * **Instruction:** Deliver private lessons using the proprietary **Reach Swim Method**.

 * **Adaptation:** Customize teaching techniques for students with special needs or orthopedic requirements.

 * **Engagement:** Act as a bridge between the water and the parents, providing progress reports and "homework" for families to practice.

 * **Safety:** Maintain a rigorous standard of water safety and pool deck management.

### **Qualifications & Compensation**

 * **Pay Rate:** Typically ranges from **$21.00 to $26.00 per hour**, significantly higher than local seasonal averages (which hover around $15–$18).

 * **Requirements:** * Strong background in competitive swimming or previous instruction.

   * Lifeguard, CPR, and First Aid certifications (or willingness to obtain them).

   * A "people-first" personality—patience is the most critical tool in your kit.

 * **Training:** Reach provides specialized training in their specific methodology to ensure consistency across their nationwide branches.

### **Why Mandeville?**

The Mandeville location often utilizes local luxury private pools or neighborhood facilities, meaning you’ll likely work in high-end, climate-controlled environments. It’s a part-time role that offers a flexible schedule, making it ideal for educators, student-athletes, or career coaches looking for a premium instruction environment.

> **Pro Tip:** Since Reach focuses on "Independence in 8-12 lessons," they look for coaches who are results-oriented and can communicate technical adjustments clearly to children and adults alike.
