Lifeguard / Swim Instructor at Northwest YMCA

April 1, 2023 - Present

I ensure the safety of patrons in the facility. I communicate respectfully with patrons about pool rules and not only enforce but also explain them so they can understand. I taught children ages 3-16 about water safety, proper technique, and built up their skills depending on their swimming level.
