A Shift in Motion

You clock in, grab your gear, and step onto the pool deck as the building comes alive—kids arriving for lessons, and lap swimmers settling into a rhythm. Between rotations, you connect with teammates, stay dialed in on what’s happening across the water, and keep communication crisp when the space gets loud. You’ll wrap up by resetting the area for the next wave of members and heading out knowing you helped the day run smoothly at 100 Constitution Avenue, Shrewsbury, PA—on rotating weekday/weekend/evening shifts, with most coverage in the mornings and afternoons.
