Swim Counselors
Roughing It hires several Swim Counselors to work with our campers, and prefer that
swim counselors have a strong aquatic background. Swim counselors should be
comfortable enough with their own swimming abilities, to be able to effectively teach
campers the basic stroke patterns as well as more advanced techniques and other
aquatic activities (diving, water polo, and synchronized swimming). Experience
teaching swim lessons and creating beginner to advanced lesson plans is helpful.
