Your gig

  • You'll provide heartfelt service and deliver exceptional swim management in line with our customer experience strategy and brand standards to children (and adults)

  • You'll keep the Learn to Swim area safe and clean... considering equipment and surrounds.
  • You'll maximise timetabling efficiencies, maintain ratios and oversee day-to-day bookings.
  • You'll recruit, coach, develop and motivate the swimsters team to achieve agreed targets.
  • You'll work to achieve membership and revenue and to operate within agreed expense budgets, with accountability for the overall financial performance of swimsters.
  • You'll liaise with the HOD ('Head of Dept') team to assess, monitor and improve swimsters strategies and support the team where possible.
  • You'll always find ways to give our members that little bit extra... especially when it's unexpected.
