The Seasonal Aquatics Director will lead both the lifeguard and swim instruction teams, ensuring high-quality programming, strong communication, and consistent safety standards throughout the summer. This position requires flexible scheduling based on program needs. Expected schedule includes early mornings, some evenings, rotating weekends, and variable hours based on weather, staffing, lessons and camp schedules.

  • Oversee Family Swim Club operations
  • Support community and family aquatics opportunities
  • Provide excellent customer service to families and members
