April 17, 2008 - Westmount Quebec - Volunteer Position - Arthritic Aquafit Assistant (Westmount YMCA)

Description

We are looking for a female volunteer to work on Tuesday afternoons with a blind senior lady, with reduced mobility, who takes our arthritic aquafit class. The volunteer would accompany the senior into the changing room - however, the senior is able to change on her own. Then the volunteer would be required to get in the shallow end of the pool with the senior to give her a description (in French) as to what the Aquafit instructor is doing, so that she can follow along (no swimming – standing in shallow end). After the class, the volunteer would accompany the senior back into the changing room - where the senior will use the bathroom & change on her own, but needs help to manoeuvre through the changing room corridors. Please note that along with being blind, the senior also uses a walker. She is an extremely sweet woman & really enjoys taking the class. Unfortunately, without a volunteer she will not be able to continue with her exercises which she needs to help rehabilitate her legs.

Qualifications

• 18yrs & over

• Bilingual - English & French (spoken)

• Applicant have basic swimming capabilities

Commitment Requirements

• hour and 45 minutes, once per week

Available times

• (start date as early as May 6, 2008) = Tuesdays = 12h45 to 14h30

GUEST FITNESS INSTRUCTOR POSITION

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
CERTIFICATION - Instructors must hold a current, nationally recognized certification in GROUP FITNESS.
DIVERSE - Instructors must be well-versed and have experience in the following formats: LOW IMPACT GROUP EXERCISE, AQUA FITNESS, STEP and STRETCHING.
ENERGETIC, ENTERTAINING STYLE - Being able to teach BASIC versions of the above in a DYNAMIC and HIGHLY ENERGETIC style is essential.
EXPERIENCE – Being able to teach to a diverse range of levels and be especially comfortable with level 1s. Being able to read participants, adjust accordingly and to make everyone FEEL SUCCESSFUL.
EXCELLENT FORM, PHRASING, CUEING and SAFETY - all screened for and essential.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS
HEALTHY ROLE MODEL - Instructors should dress in professional attire with a neat appearance, be fit, healthy and 'in shape'. Please refer to the ‘Clothing Line’ page on our web site for our line of professional, functional logo’d wear.
EXCELLENT PEOPLE SKILLS, OUTGOING PERSONALITY, PROFESSIONAL and FRIENDLY – Instructors must excel in these areas and be able to ‘walk their talk’ by promoting their classes on-site in an encouraging manner. Having a ‘visible’ instructor goes hand in hand with being approachable and encouraging.
‘GO WITH THE FLOW’ attitude – Instructors must be adaptable and flexible. Travel is an ‘adventure’ and it must be looked at this way.
ABILITY TO THINK ‘OUTSIDE THE BOX’ - Most fitness-based resorts have limited equipment but most have steps and mats. Some have other equipment like stability balls and hand weights however, most do not. Microphones are not usually part of the sound systems. Most resorts do have CD players, although taking tapes is always encouraged as back up. Many classes are held outdoors in more casual settings, most often not in ‘studios’. Instructors must be flexible in their approach and enjoy the spirit of movement while adjusting to some of these unique resort class settings/scenarios.
VERSATILITY - Resort teaching requires versatility. Some resort contacts can be quite flexible with regards to allowing each instructor to make small adaptations. Other contacts like the class formats to stay the same.
INDIVIDUALITY - Instructors are encouraged to bring their own ‘flavor’ to each class. For example, ‘stretching’ can incorporate yoga and basic pilates concepts while ‘step’, ‘aqua fitness’ and ‘low impact’ classes can include some body sculpting, interval, tae box and dance components.
