Each year the City of Escondido provides safe & affordable swim lessons to hundreds of families in our community. We believe that swimming is an essential life skill that everyone should have the opportunity to learn. At the heart of this learn-toswim program are Water Safety Instructors and Lifeguards like Kailey Sanchez who work year round to ensure that we can teach our community water safety skills. The greatest limiting factor to offering more lessons is staffing. If you have a passion for teaching or just want to share your love of the water with others, Click here to apply today!
