Be ready to walk through how you supervise a busy public pool: staffing ratios, supervision zones, and escalation when risk rises. Expect scenarios on water-quality concerns, medical or rescue events, difficult patrons, and coaching underperforming guards. Prepare examples of training others, balancing programmes with open public swim, and how you document incidents and hand over to the next supervisor.
This role suits someone who already leads aquatic staff and treats safety as non-negotiable. Strong fit if you can manage a shift team at a community pool, stay calm under pressure, and keep Otumoetai’s programmes and public access running smoothly for Bay Venues patrons in Tauranga.
As Aquatic Supervisor at Bay Venues’ Otumoetai Pool in Judea, Tauranga, your day centres on safe, well-run pool operations. You would typically open or hand over shifts, brief lifeguards and deck staff, check water quality and plant readiness, and keep lanes, programmes, and public sessions flowing. Much of the role is coaching the team on rescue readiness and customer care, stepping in for incidents or peak periods, coordinating with facility and programme staff, and closing with incident notes, staffing updates, and end-of-day checks so the next shift inherits a safe pool.
