Pros

-Other staff were nice -I did feel welcome by the management and they were approachable

Cons

-Group lessons were an absolute nightmare. Kids ussually did not listen to a single thing. There was no time to breath after each lesson, before the next group was shoved in your face -While the job included working in those cool endless pools, working in them was pretty disgusting. Kids who were sick often would wipe their snot and gunk into it, and I got caught something on one ocassion. -Job obviously included instructing as well as doing chems, which is normal for any aquatics job. However the job also included some very gross tasks such as manually cleaning (with no gloves and just chemicals) the pool filters filled with all kinds of nasty stuff. Also included a ton of mopping and cleaning windows, extraneous to your shift, meaning you could be there for an extra hour. -Part time, but not very flexible hours.

Pros

Great work environment: SwimLabs offers a supportive and friendly atmosphere, where team collaboration is highly valued. Coaches and staff genuinely care about the swimmers' progress, making it a positive place to work.

Cons

High-tech systems can be overwhelming: While the technology can greatly benefit swimmers, it can be challenging for coaches who aren’t as tech-savvy. There’s a learning curve with the video systems and software that can sometimes slow down workflow or become frustrating when things don’t run smoothly.

Pros

People-wise, a very fun place to work. Definitely attracts the kind of nice, positive people you want to be around.

Cons

Little to no direction from management the vast majority of the time; very much a "sink or swim" kind of job. High staff turnover since most were high school students. Office staff were often hired to work part-time but ended up working far more than they agreed to; coaches tended to have the opposite problem, being promised so many hours but scheduled (and paid) for less.
