Description
Do you love being in the water? Whether you're already an experienced swim instructor or you're a competitive swimmer looking to turn your passion into teaching, we'd love to meet you.
At the Summit Area YMCA, every swim lesson is more than learning stroke. It is about building confidence, teaching lifesaving skills, and helping children and adults feel safe in and around the water. What you do matters. Every single day.
