Julia Soldenwagner

As a swim coach, I had the opportunity to work with kids from 3-17 years old. I was able to communicate with parents and help kids with better technique in their swimming, both in private lessons and team lessons. Also building a relationship with the parents and the kids. Encouraging students to feel comfortable in the water, building their strength in swim.

• Organized and monitored daily practice sessions.
• Conducted stroke analysis, technique improvement, and skill development lessons for swimmers.
• Instructed swimmers on proper nutrition, hydration and recovery techniques.
• Observed swimmers during practices to ensure safety and correct any errors in technique or form.

• Volunteer work
• I was able to gain an opportunity to volunteer and help with the Oceanside Junior LifeGuard program as an assistant lifeguard. I had the responsibility to keep an eye on all the kids making sure they were supposed to be where they were supposed to be, making sure they were safe. Helping with workouts, motivating kids to keep going, and setting up all the fun games.
• When not doing Junior Guards I would be helping lifeguards on duty in the tower, having the responsibility to watch the water and do rescues.
