Your tasks

As a swimming helper you help create a safe and positive experience for our citizens. Your tasks include, among other things:

• Assistance with dressing and undressing.
• Assistance in the laundry situation.

You will be thoroughly introduced to the tasks, and you are never alone with the responsibility.
