"Reporting to the Camp Manager and working alongside a like-minded team of ratio'd staff, swimming teachers are responsible for planning and delivering safe, structured, fun and active sessions to children aged between 5 and 17 in the school holidays. Swim Teachers need to be able to adapt for varying age and ability levels (children are grouped by age, typically 5-7, 8-10, 11-14, 15-17), focusing on developing water-confidence and basic stroke development. Our programme is all about getting children active so you'll be delivering structured, active games and fun activities rather than a learn to swim programme. Safety is our number one priority, and Swim Teachers work closely with Lifeguards to ensure preparation of areas and equipment, management of risk assessments, monitoring of water conditions, and management of incidents. Children and staff must adhere to the Kings Camps' Swimming Policy, the venue Normal Operating Procedure and Emergency Action Plan. Staff will be working with groups of mixed ability children, with a maximum of 16 children in the pool and with sessions typically lasting between 30 - 45 minutes. Session times and pool availability will vary, but we typically run sessions between 9.30am - 3.30pm, Monday to Friday." Child safety is our number one priority so you'll ensure that the welfare of children is paramount at all times, supervising children during breaks, participating in swimming sessions, overseeing the safe use of equipment, promptly recording any incidents.
