JAZMIN MONTES

LIFEGUARD & SWIM INSTRUCTOR

I have been a lifeguard and swim instructor for my local community pool for two summers and decided to continue my skills here at the YMCA. I have been swimming for more than five years and have been on multiple swim teams. I chose to work for the Y because I support their goal of making a difference in the community and improving personal growth. As a swim instructor and lifeguard, I value helping other learn not only about swimming but water safety too.

Fun Fact: I was actually terrified of the water as a child and was taught by various swim instructors. My experience with many different swim instructors taught me a lot of swimming skills and techniques that have shaped me into a strong swimmer.

Certifications: American Red Cross Lifeguarding, CPR/AED, Administering Emergency Oxygen, First Aid; YMCA Swim Lesson Instructor
