It is imperative you maintain a safe working environment by ensuring activities are safe and relevant, by keeping a tidy workstation, ensuring ground rules and pool rules are adhered to and always supervising your group and never turn your back to your class: it is completely acceptable to sit children not being helped by you on the side whilst they wait their turn to maintain high safety standards.

Liaise with the swimming coordinator about your groups, keeping them informed of any potential issue or change that may need to happen to keep the group functioning at optimal efficiency.
Wear correct uniform, which is currently a Dean Close Top and any navy/dark shorts of your choice. Footwear is optional. Jewellery must be removed, nails kept short, and hair tied up. If in doubt, ask the coordinator.
Comply with ‘Awarding’ procedure so that participants can receive any award they earn for progress made.
In addition to teaching swimming, working in a sporting environment will require you to assist with opening and closing of the facility, including: unlocking/locking doors, turning on/off the lights, operating the pool cover, putting in and taking out poolside steps, checking changing rooms for rubbish and lost property and flushing toilets to ensure facility is clean and tidy before customers arrive and after all customers have left, ensuring adequate seating is available, checking fire doors are closed and completing the pool use log book.
In cases of injury to any child whilst under your care, you must immediately complete an accident report form.
You must promptly reply to company communications in whichever format they are received (such as email, text message, messaging app, and so on).
You must embrace the Dean Close Swim School team spirit by working closely with your colleagues and demonstrating the ethos and values of the Dean Close Foundation.
