Swim Instructor
Now accepting applications for Swim Instructors!
At Kraeger Aquatic Services we are proud of the high-quality, individualized swim lessons we have provided the Edmond and OKC community for 16 years. Our instructors are expected to continue the legacy of friendliness, patience, and humility that our clients have come to expect.
Instructor Expectations
Patient - Learning to swim is often extremely stressful and scary for both students and parents. Instructors must remain calm and patient while students become more and more comfortable in the pool.
Encouraging - Students require positive, kind, and reaffirming encouragement.
Firm - While instructors are expected to be kind, patient, and encouraging, they must also be firm. Instructors must remain in charge of their lessons without being mean or belittling.
Playful - Students learn the fastest and achieve the most during play. The most effective instructors make teaching and learning feel like playtime.
