Instructor Aide Program
This volunteer program is for young
people, thirteen to fifteen years old, who are interested in
assisting in our swim classes. Applicants must have completed our program through the
Advanced Technique level, and enjoy working with young children.
As an instructor aide, you will be learning how to teach and
interact with young children in a responsible manner. You
will closely work with instructors to help young swimmers learn
new skills and enjoy the water. Being an aide should be
both a fun and growing experience. The instructors and
students appreciate and benefit from your help. The time
commitment for aiding is one two week session, for three hours
each day.
While not every Instructor Aide becomes an instructor, almost all
of our instructors are selected from our Instructor Aide Program.
Therefore, if you are interested in one day becoming a part of our
SOS staff, we would highly recommend participation in this program.
