Head Swim Team Coach

The City of Blue Ash is seeking a dynamic and experienced Head Swim Team Coach to lead our Summer Swim Team at the Blue Ash Recreation Center. This highly visible leadership role oversees operations of our seasonal team, which practices in our new, beautiful outdoor 25-meter pool and includes approximately 200-220 swimmers each summer. The swim team participates in the N.S.S.L (Northern Suburban Swim League) competing against other community swim teams including Evendale, Sharonville, Springdale, etc.

The season runs from mid-May (tentative due to pool construction) through late July, with practices held on weekday mornings and swim meets held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

As the Head Coach, you will set the tone for the season—cultivating a positive, energetic, and inclusive environment where swimmers can develop their skills, build confidence, and have a rewarding summer experience. You’ll manage and lead three assistant coaches, collaborate with the parent board, and create a structured, organized program that supports swimmers of all abilities.

This is a seasonal, part-time position ideal for coaches who are passionate about team building and leading a well-established community program. This position also enjoys contributions into the Ohio Public Employee's Retirement System; free individual membership to the Blue Ash Recreation Center with eligibility and discount for family members; and discounts at the Blue Ash Golf Course, and Sand Trap Grill.
