Summary
I am a dedicated swim instructor with one year of experience helping swimmers of various ages and skill levels build confidence, develop their abilities, and achieve their goals. I prioritize building trust and strong relationships with my students while creating a safe, encouraging, and positive learning environment. Through my experience as a YMCA swim instructor, YMCA customer service representative, and Chili's hostess, I have developed strong communication, teamwork, and interpersonal skills. I am eager to continue growing as an aquatics professional and bring my experience, adaptability, and passion for swimming to an assistant swim coach position.
