What’s it like working at State Swim?

AI summary of recent reviews

State Swim offers a notably positive workplace environment characterised by excellent schedule flexibility, which is particularly beneficial for university students. The company maintains a supportive and friendly culture where staff feel valued and supported by their colleagues. Employees find the work rewarding, especially in terms of teaching swimming and making a difference in students' lives, and appreciate the opportunities for professional growth within the organisation.

However, there are some operational aspects that present challenges. These include the management of shift durations, with some staff noting that casual shifts can be quite short, and sometimes subject to last-minute changes. Some employees have raised concerns about pool conditions, particularly regarding chlorine levels, and there are observations about pay rates being lower compared to other swimming facilities in the industry.

Incredible job for high school and university students.

The good thingsI began working at State Swim while I was a university student. The managers have been excellent in ensuring that every time my timetable changes, they give me new shifts when the opportunity arises. The community that we have at State Swim is fantastic, and so many friendships have been made. The company is always open to helping however and whenever they can and is always looking for feedback to improve the working environment.

The challengesAs State Swim is a chain in the swimming teaching area, sometimes the managers can be swapped around. The more experienced managers may leave us to help another State Swim without much notice.

Overall, my experience at StateSwim was positive, with a supportive environment and excellent flexibility, though there’s room for improvement in communication and scheduling.

The good thingsStateSwim offers excellent flexibility, which has been particularly beneficial while balancing university commitments. The supportive and accommodating work environment makes it an ideal workplace for students or anyone seeking a role that allows for a healthy work-life balance.

The challengesWhile my overall experience at StateSwim was positive, one area for improvement would be the communication around shift changes and rostering. At times, updates were given on short notice, making planning challenging.

Really nice environment with good program but short shifts

The good thingsThe environment was really nice very supportive. the swim program is good, teaching SBK/BR after freestyle inc breathing was a lot easier than trying to do them both at the same time.

The challengesThe pool was horrific i don't know what they're doing with the chlorine but it was incredibly itchy and dry after work worse then every other pool i've worked at. The shifts are very short.
