Assistant Swim Coach

Do you geek out over perfect flip turns? Get excited when a kid nails their breaststroke timing? Love the idea of helping swimmers grow from splashy beginners into confident competitors? Can you hype up a lane of swimmers better than any Spotify playlist? If so, the YDSC Gators want you on deck.

We’re a high-energy, community-driven USA/YMCA swim team looking for a passionate Assistant Swim Coach to help develop the next generation of strong, skilled swimmers. If you’ve got a love for the sport and a sharp eye for technique, keep reading.

What You'll Be Doing (Besides Making Waves):

• Run practices that focus on stroke technique, efficiency, and confidence in and out of the water
• Collaborate with the head coach on daily workouts based on our seasonal training plan
• Help swimmers improve their freestyle form, streamline their starts, and fine-tune their turns
• Work hands-on with younger athletes to build strong fundamentals that last
• Motivate swimmers to set goals and reach them whether that’s a best time or a new skill
• Keep lines of communication open and positive with parents, swimmers, and fellow coaches
• Support team meets, track attendance/performance, and keep the vibe fun but focused

Who You Are:

• You’ve got real swim experience (USA Swimming, YMCA team, or college varsity)
• You’ve either coached before or have taught swim lessons and loved it
• You understand stroke mechanics, body position, and training strategies—and want to keep learning more
• You’re organized, encouraging, and can explain technique in a way that actually makes sense
• You’re CPR/First Aid certified (or can be within 60 days)
• You believe in developing swimmers as people, not just athletes

Why You’ll Love It Here:

• You’ll work with a group of passionate swimmers and supportive families
• Our coaching team is collaborative, caring, and always ready to cheer you on
• We believe in youth development, healthy living, and giving back to the community
• You’ll be part of a team with a legacy of district, state, and national achievements
• It’s coaching with a mission—where your time on deck truly makes a difference
