- Teaching lessons for 3 years now, from young babies with a parent and child class all the way up to continuous lengths in swim club. I can lead lessons for all stages, all 4 strokes, breaststroke, butterfly, front crawl and backstroke. This shows my understanding of how to communicate with children and identify weak swimmers easily.
- I have worked on fun sessions and parties as poolside helpers, running activities such as water walkers and sea scooters.
- During the February half term, I was a part of the NPLQ lifeguard training at Center Parcs and have gone through further training at Woggle Goggle and now lead fun sessions and parties as head lifeguard.
- I am experienced in cleaning with closing checks to make the building safe and clean. I am also trained in responsible positions, such as putting on the pool cover.
- During lessons with younger swimmers, I have carried out small-scale rescues and have rescued a child from a deflating water walker during a fun session.
- I have my swimming teacher safety award, level 2.
- As my job works closely with families, sometimes there are complaints from parents. This has taught me how to communicate calmly and diffuse a situation easily.
