Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you value our flexible scheduling, opportunities for growth, and benefits like the 401(k) option for part-time employees. It’s also great to know you’ve seen improvements in your swimming ability while working with us—what a fantastic perk of the job! We understand that scheduling can change each swim quarter, but if you prefer to keep the same schedule year-round, we’re happy to work with you to make that happen. Consistency is important, and we’re here to support your needs whenever possible. You’re absolutely right that skin and hair care are important when spending extended time in the pool. We have resources available to help you manage the effects of chlorine on your hair and skin, and our general managers are always there to provide guidance and support. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need assistance or tips for maintaining healthy skin and hair. Thank you for being a part of our team and contributing to such a positive work environment. We value your input and dedication!

Pros

Gives you space to really develop yourself skills if this is something you want to do.

Cons

It has become corporate and money driven. The bottom line is becoming more important than families. Things feel chaotic and corporate doesn’t communicate well. Management is constantly over worked and underplayed. There is no way to accomplish all of the new mandates corporate has implemented in the last few years
