I am applying to become a member of the Landmark Harbor East Theatre floor staff.

I am a tenacious worker and will go above and beyond to get the job done.
The city offers a wide variety of new people everyday; the YMCA offers the same regulars at the same time, everyday. If one prefers new faces everyday, city pools offers variety; on the other hand, if one prefers building relationships with swimmers, the YMCA offers a multitude of opportunities.

It is a highly regarded and respected job, and a lot of factors need to be taken into consideration when deciding what workplace is right for oneself.
“You two, get the ball down the pool and take a shot, just make sure it’s inbounds, don’t worry if you miss the goal, Kenzie will get the rebound.” My coach has barked these orders on numerous occasions throughout the year and it has never failed to give me a little thrill inside. As an athlete that tends to go unnoticed, getting acknowledgement in such an offhand way is pretty exciting. It shows me I have a place on the team, a job that my team depends on me to do. Water polo is a very difficult sport.

I have heard a plethora of great things for being a lifeguard at Foothills Swim and Racquet Club. For example, coworkers are nice, teaching swim lessons are fun because people get to form a relationship with the kids, and have the chance to meet new people.

This made me want to have the opportunity to work at Foothills.

Swimming Rules and Regulations USA swimming rules and regulations, FINA swimming rules and regulations and Olympic Swimming rules and regulations are all governing body’s when it comes to the sport of swimming.

Water polo is considered the most challenging sport in the world, both physically and mentally.

I would love to “dive” into Ridgeview Middle/High School. If I could make a significant change to the structure or appearance of my school I would have a swimming pool at Ridgeview. Not only would it be beneficial to the school, but the public as well. First, having a swimming pool would be a brand new activity for everyone to enjoy. Instead of playing the same sport every day after school, students could go swimming with their friends or maybe their teammates.
For the last two years swimming has taken up most of my time. That time was spent getting faster, conversing with teammates, and helping the younger girls get better. After practice one day my coach informed me that I would not be making the sections team because of my time. Being the first senior in five years not to make it, I felt like a failure. For the next few days of practice I checked out mentally.

We know our quirks are what make us different and special, and we embrace it without shame. We are more open with each other than any other team. We redefine turning your team into a second family.
Coaches tend to live beneath a false sense of security that their only responsibility is to further the athletic capabilities if their players both individually, and collectively.
