FREYA WALKER
Preston,Lanc
Summary
I believe that I am a reliable and dedicated individual with skills in first aid and strong swimming ability, coupled with excellent communication and quick decision-making. As I finshed my A Levels in June, I decided it was the right option to take a gap year to grow as an individual and take a step in maturing in the work industry. As seen on this resume, my main role on my gap year in work is being a swim teacher and lifeguard. I am a
passionate Swimming Teacher with experience delivering safe, fun adult and junior lessons. I adapt instruction to suit individual and group personalities and abilities for excellent engagement and help students to achieve potential for confident, competent swimmers.
