121-160 $350 favorite part of
161-200 $395 the job?
My favorite part
of the job is
teaching swim
lessons and water safety. I’m very passionate
about water safety because even the smallest
actions make the biggest impact. According to
Safe Kids Worldwide, drowning is the leading
cause of the death in children between the ages
of 1 and 4. Living in the beautiful Rogue Valley, we
are privileged to have access to many lakes and
rivers that sadly end up taking the lives of many
because they are not properly trained in how to
stay safe in and around water. Teaching children
from a young age about water safety will carry
them through their life and prevent a tragedy from
occurring, and I like knowing I played a part in
that.
