Vacations: Due to the nature and short duration of the summer programs, vacation schedules may not be accommodated. A maximum of 7 days of time-off during the entire Summer Swim Program will be considered, according to the feasibility of the schedule and at the discretion of the supervisor.  If you request more than 7 days, we will choose 7 days from your request to allocate as time off. All applicants must list planned vacations in the supplemental questionnaire that is part of the on-line employment application. All requests must be submitted on this form to be considered. You may have additional time off during the summer, but you are responsible for getting those shifts covered by other staff (getting a shift covered by another staff member does NOT count toward your 7 days off). Hiring preference will be given to those applicants that have more availability during the summer programs.
