If you have taught swimming, how many years experience do you have teaching? *

Do you have experience working with children? *

Yes No

If you do have experience working with children, please describe your experience in a few lines. *

Because this position involves working with children, candidates must pass a background check before being hired. Please check to confirm your understanding. *

I understand I will need to have a background check.

Do you have any experience teaching children on the autism spectrum, or any students who move, behave or learn differently? *

Yes No

If you do have experience teaching children who learn, move or behave differently, briefly tell us about that experience. *

Usually our instructors teach children between the ages of 2 and 10, with guardians present the entire time. We are therefore looking for people with the following qualities: PUNCTUAL, PROFESSIONAL and ENGAGING people who can work AUTONOMOUSLY. Do these qualities describe you? Can you give us some examples? *

The role of the instructor is to teach children and some adults the basics of swimming, using the LifeCycle Swim School Methodology. The lessons take place in private, residential pools that we rent in Montclair, NJ. Part of the job is setting up teaching supplies and putting them away at the end of the day. We offer paid training at $16 per hour. Once you're teaching, pay fluctuates throughout the workday from $20-$30 per hour, depending on experience, and how many students in a class. Pay increases for group classes, as we believe group classes are harder to teach than private classes. There is the possibility of working up to 35 hours per week. I think that this job: *

Sounds perfect for me Sounds super fun Is not a good fit for me

We also make "house calls." This means that homeowners hire us to come to their home pool to teach. Because we don't pay to rent these pools, and because you need to travel to these pools, these assignments pay $24-$32p/h, depending on number of students. To accept these assignments you must have a car. We assess the pool for safety before the first lesson, and we provide all of the supplies. These instructors really get to know the families, and it's a lovely experience. Again, you MUST have a car. Would you be interested in these types of shifts? *

Yes No

Why would you be a good instructor at LifeCycle Swim School? *

Have you ever been certified as a lifeguard - even if it has expired? Most of our teachers must be lifeguard certified by the first class; however there are a few positions at guarded pools and the instructor doesn't need to be LG certified. *

Yes No

If you have an active Lifeguard Certification, who issued it and how many months/years you have lifeguarded? *

On a separate topic....If you have an active lifeguard certification, or plan on having one by the summer, AND you have at least two years of life guarding experience, would you like to interview to be on our Lifeguard Roster for private lifeguard events? The pay for these events starts at $22 per hour, and usually includes a tip. If your answer is "yes" we invite you to fill out our online LG application. *

Yes No Maybe

Please describe your highest level of education at this point. If you're in college, tell us where you attend, your expected graduation year, and your area of interest or major/minors if declared. *

For the selected candidates we have Google Meet interviews every week. Select the time periods that are most suited for you. You can check more than one. *

Monday PM Tuesday PM Wednesday AM

If you're not available at any of the above times for a video call, please provide a day/time that works for you. *

Are you able to provide two references? *

Yes No

Do you have any friends interested in joining our team? *
