THE ROLE

The Swim Instructor/Lifeguard plays an important role, providing quality leisure 
programs, services and ensuring the safety of our military members and their 
families.

Our services are tailored to help families with the challenges they may face due to 
military life and make the most of everyday activities such as going to the pool or 
beach. We believe that when members of the Canadian Armed Forces are able to 
take good care of themselves and their families, they can do better both at home 
and at work. Whether families need to sign the kids up for swimming lessons, 
improve their fitness, make friends in a new community, our services are here to 
help. 

Lifeguarding is an exciting and rewarding job that carries great responsibility. 
Guards take courses and train hard for events they hope will never happen and 
which they work hard to prevent. As a Swim Instructor/Lifeguard, you will prepare 
and deliver swimming lessons and supervise those using the pool ensuring their 
safety. When guarding you will prevent accidents and spot potential trouble and 
intervene before it becomes life-threatening. You will explain safety rules to 
swimmers and enforce them. As an instructor you will teach participants how to 
swim and be responsible for designing activities for particular groups, such as 
seniors or children. You will motivate your students and help them reach their full 
potential. You will have a chance to expand your skills and share your passions as 
all with the goal of improving the quality of life for our military.

We are looking for dynamic, independent and motivated individuals to join our 
team, helping us ensure recreation stays safe and fun!
