THE ROLE
The Swim Instructor / Lifeguard plays an important role, providing quality leisure programmes, services and ensuring the safety of our military members and their families. Our services are tailored to help families with the challenges they may face due to military life and make the most of everyday activities such as going to the pool or beach. We believe that when members of the Canadian Armed Forces are able to take good care of themselves and their families, they can do better both at home and at work. Whether families need to sign their kids up for swimming lessons, improve fitness, make friends in a new community, our services are here to help.
Lifeguarding is an exciting and rewarding job that carries great responsibility. Guards take courses and train hard for events they hope will never happen and which they work hard to prevent. As a Swim Instructor / Lifeguard, you will prepare and deliver swimming lessons and supervise those using the pool ensuring their safety. You will prevent accidents, spot potential trouble and intervene before it becomes life‑threatening, explain safety rules to swimmers and enforce them. As an instructor you will teach participants how to swim and be responsible for designing activities for particular groups, such as seniors or children. You will motivate your students and help them reach their full potential. You will have a chance to expand your skills and share your passions, all with the goal of improving the quality of life for our military.
We are looking for dynamic, independent and motivated individuals to join our team, helping us ensure recreation stays safe and fun!
