YWCA Tulsa

Lifeguard/Swim Instructor

March 2017 • Tulsa, OK

What I liked

I love teaching kids and seeing them learn and grow. It is so rewarding to watch them go through the levels we offer and eventually make it to our swim team. I love building up our community of swimmers. It was also good networking to learn from the more experienced teachers I worked with and meet and establish relationships with all the parents.

What I wish was different

There were some organizational problems over the summer because of higher position changes, but other than that, it was fairly smooth sailing.

Advice

It is always good to be open minded and able to learn from each individual kid. Each child learns differently and you have to learn how to teach them in a productive way. Do not be discouraged if a kid doesn't get it right away; it takes time or it doesn't and you have to learn how to deal with that.
