Aquatics Prog Manager
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info; remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it—never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. Also never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. The posting includes Salary & Benefits: "Salary - $60,114.60/year - $62,735.40/year - commensurate with experience; along with competitive benefits and a great work environment". So we have salary range and mention of benefits. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state salary and benefits, so we can include Pay and Benefits sections. However we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" which is placeholder? They said never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So we cannot have a Pay section that just says "commensurate with experience". But we have actual numbers: $60,114.60/year - $62,735.40/year. That's specific. So we can include Pay section with that range. Benefits: "competitive benefits and a great work environment" is vague but still some content. Might be considered filler? It's not specific but it's something. The instruction: never create Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state "competitive benefits". That's somewhat vague but it's still a statement. We'll include Benefits with that phrase.
Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's "Travel between sites and to activities as needed" and "Flexibility to work clubhouse hours especially as seasons and service needs change." That's about schedule flexibility but not explicit schedule. Probably we should not create Schedule section because no explicit schedule (like full-time, part-time, hours). So omit Schedule.
We need sections: About the role (maybe Position Overview), Responsibilities (Essential Duties and Responsibilities), Requirements (maybe Qualifications Required), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Or Ideal?), Skills (maybe combine?), Benefits, Pay.
We need to decide headings: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those exact headings. We need to map content.
About the role: Could be Position Overview paragraph.
Responsibilities: Essential Duties And RESPONSIBILITIES (multiple bullet-like sentences). We'll extract duties as list items.
Requirements: Required qualifications (the list under "Qualifications Required").
Qualifications: Preferred Or Ideal (maybe separate heading Qualifications? Actually we already used Requirements for required; Qualifications for preferred? The instruction list includes both Requirements and Qualifications as separate possible headings. We'll use Requirements for required, Qualifications for preferred.
Skills: Could be skills like Strong interpersonal and communication skills, Ability to work with youth..., Ability to work independently..., Flexibility..., Valid driver’s license. Those are more like skills/abilities. Could place under Skills.
Benefits: "competitive benefits and a great work environment". We'll put as
.
Pay: Salary range.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc.
Also need to remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal etc.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to ensure we keep all details from the posting that are substantive.
Let's extract content.
First, About Boys & Girls Clubs Of Boston paragraph: Since 1893... up to "Learn more at www.bgcb.org and join us in transforming our members, our communities, our city!" That's about the organization. Might be considered boilerplate? It's descriptive of the organization, not the role. The instruction: "About Boys & Girls Clubs Of Boston" is a heading in the original. We could include an "About the role" section using the Position Overview paragraph. The organization description may be considered boilerplate? It's not about the role but about the organization. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The organization description is substantive about the employer. Should we keep it? Possibly yes, but we need to fit into sections. There's no specific heading for "About the organization". Could we put it under About the role? Might be okay. But the instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role heading and put the Position Overview there. The organization description could be considered part of About the role? Might be okay.
But we also have "Position Overview" paragraph: "The Aquatics Program Manager position at Boys and Girl Clubs of Boston oversees the planning, implementation and ongoing evaluation of quality and developmentally appropriate programs, activities, services, and special events in the club’s aquatics program areas for youth ages 6-18. This role ensures the safety of all swimmers by minimizing or eliminating hazardous situations or behaviors, effectively implementing the WAVE system and ensuring that all aquatics program staff are equipped with the tools needed to ensure a safe aquatics environment. This role manages lifeguards and other aquatics staff."
That's definitely about the role.
We'll put that under About the role.
Now Responsibilities: Extract list items from "ESSENTIAL DUTIES And RESPONSIBILITIES". The text includes many sentences, some are bullet-like but not formatted. We need to convert each duty into
- . Let's parse:
- Manage and oversee BGCB program activity standards as determined each year.
- With department staff, provide a variety of programming options reflective of the BGCB Aquatics Program.
- Run individual programs, activities, trips, including, but not limited to, oversight of open swim, swim lessons, swim team, and in-service training.
- Ensure that the Club has a swim team that competes in the local Boys & Girls Club league and participates in the National Meet in Florida.
- Actively supports the BGCB goal that all members learn to swim ensuring new members are swim tested and a full range of swim lessons are offered to members of all ages and abilities.
- Supervise and discipline of members participating in programs and services within the program area as well as throughout the clubhouse as deemed appropriate.
- Secure, maintain and monitor materials, equipment and other resources belonging to the program area(s).
- Coordinate partnerships and consultants who can offer specific instruction, support and guidance to members.
- Develop and implement collaborative programs and events with staff from other clubhouse departments as well as staff from other BGCB clubhouses and community organizations as appropriate.
- Participate in NENEAPC programs as appropriate.
- Participate in various evaluation efforts throughout each program year, including the annual member survey.
- Maintain a safe and clean aquatics program area(s).
- Provide oversight of pool maintenance requirements - including daily safety checks, opening & closing duties and chemical checks - ensuring that the pool meets all safety standards.
- Apply WAVE policy, protocol and system while simultaneously providing active lifeguard supervision and established emergency response procedures.
- Orient, train and supervise aquatics staff (i.e., work-study students, junior staff, volunteers), including conducting monthly in-service training for aquatics staff.
- Train all staff in water safety protocols.
- Provide timely annual performance evaluations for applicable staff.
- Participate in individual and group supervision sessions.
- Participate in relevant, appropriate professional development opportunities.
- Travel between sites and to activities as needed.
- Other related duties as specified by the Executive Director, Director of Operations or Program Director.
Also there is "GENERAL BGCB EXPECTATIONS" which includes expectations like teaching youth healthy lifestyle, model healthy behavior, creating child-friendly environments, inclusion, building capacity of staff, annual professional development, ensuring environment free of abuse. Those could be considered responsibilities or expectations. Might be included under Responsibilities as well, but we could also put under Skills? Probably better to include under Responsibilities as they are expectations.
We'll add those as list items too.
Now Requirements: Under "Qualifications Required". List:
- At least two years of relevant experience in recreation, aquatics, or a related field, and at least one year experience supervising or supporting other guards
- Current American Red Cross Lifeguarding, CPR, and First Aid certifications (prior to hire)
- WSI (Water Safety Instructor) and CPO (Certified Pool Operator) certifications (must have or be willing to obtain)
- Knowledge of youth development principles
- Direct experience developing and delivering aquatics programs for youth
- Knowledge of trends in swimming techniques, pool maintenance, and lifeguard training.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills
- Ability to work with youth and families from a variety of backgrounds.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- Flexibility to work clubhouse hours especially as seasons and service needs change.
- Valid driver’s license
We'll put each as
- under Requirements heading.
Qualifications (Preferred Or Ideal):
- BA/BS in related field
- LGI (Lifeguard Instructor) certification as needed
- Bilingual or multi-lingual
- Experience in out-of-school-time settings
- MS Office and web competency
We'll put as
- under Qualifications.
Skills: Could be overlapping with Requirements; but we could separate skills like Strong interpersonal and communication skills, Ability to work with youth..., Ability to work independently..., Flexibility..., Valid driver’s license. However those are already in Requirements. Might be redundant. Perhaps we should not duplicate. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have separate sections for duties (Responsibilities), requirements (Required qualifications), qualifications (Preferred), benefits, pay. Skills maybe not needed if covered. But we could still include Skills section for things like "Strong interpersonal and communication skills", "Ability to work with youth and families from a variety of backgrounds", "Ability to work independently and as part of a team", "Flexibility to work clubhouse hours especially as seasons and service needs change", "Valid driver’s license". However those are already in Requirements; duplicating may be okay but might be considered redundant. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; not to invent or summarize away detail. Duplicating is not inventing, but could be considered unnecessary but not prohibited. However they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So better to avoid thin sections. We'll combine skills into Requirements or maybe put them under Skills and not duplicate. Let's think: Requirements already includes those skill-like items. So we could omit Skills section entirely. That would reduce number of sections.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
Check if any other sections like Schedule: Not present.
Now Benefits: "competitive benefits and a great work environment". We'll put as
.
Pay: Salary range: "$60,114.60/year - $62,735.40/year - commensurate with experience". We need to avoid filler "commensurate with experience". But we can include the range and maybe note that it's commensurate with experience? The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So we cannot have a Pay section that only says that phrase. But we have actual numbers plus that phrase. If we include the phrase, is that considered filler? It's
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info; remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it—never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. Also never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them.
