Somerset Hills Hiring Policy


Hiring for the Somerset Hills Swim Club and the Blue Dolphins Swim Team is performed by two separate committees. These committees interview candidates as appropriate and make recommendations to the Board of Directors of the Club. These committees take into account the previous year’s reviews and interim experience gains.

Employment will be offered first to existing employees with good ratings from the previous season, followed by pool members in good standing and children of past pool members, and finally non-Somerset Hills candidates. Special consideration will be given to Lifeguards that can work through Labor Day.

Due to the nature of the Head and Assistant Coach positions, the assignment may be filled by the most qualified candidate, Somerset Hills or non-Somerset Hills. Current-year salaries will be reviewed at the April board meeting. Wage ranges and criteria for each position will be available to all pool members upon request. Salaries and expectations for each position will be included in all job offers. Applicants will be notified in April if they are or are not being offered a position for the upcoming season.
