Swim Instructor at the Jewish Community Center - September 2025

Swim Instructors will teach 2nd grade Durham Public School students basic water safety and swimming skills.  Each 2nd grade student has 8 lessons over a 2-week period.  Instructors are given a detailed handbook and go through a training session.  Laminated teaching aids are available poolside during the lessons.  Instructor requirements are the ability to do a front to back float, a basic (elementary) backstroke, front crawl (freestyle) stroke, and tread water.  Instructors should have a desire to teach elementary school children, be patient and kind.  Instructors will need to complete a free online Durham Public Schools background check.  This is a very rewarding experience for both the 2nd grade students and the instructors.
