I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Chesterfield, MO) in July 2019
Interview
Short, good questions, great for a first job. Very friendly and welcoming. Caring about staff. Not super thorough, though. Interview process was simple in talking about previous experience and skills and why you want the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What type of music was playing in your car when you got here?
Easy, asks relevant questions. Casual, you should know the job and be ready to show up early and take it seriously. You’ll be the best at the job if you just do that.
Couple of behavioral / skill questions related to the training classes. Know all the types of saves and when to perform them. Also, know how to answer situational changes. 1 short interview with the lead Aquatics director. Offer next day

Question 1
What would you do if a child was unconscious on the pool deck?
Interviewing can be nerve-wracking, but preparation builds confidence. Research the company, practice answers, and dress professionally. Stay calm, listen carefully, and ask thoughtful questions to show genuine interest and enthusiasm.
