Water Safety Instructor

In conjunction with the American Red Cross, swim lessons were provided during the summer months for children of all ages. As a swim instructor, I taught over 30 swim classes for students enrolled in all 8 levels of the ARC swim program. My primary responsibility, as a water safety instructor, was to ensure the safety of the students. Secondary roles included: weekly lesson plans, developing diverse motor drills, demonstrating stroke principals, helping mentally and physically challenged children, creating skill-building games and building on previously acquired skills.
