How to answer this question

The craziest or most interesting job I have ever had was working as a swim instructor. I was in charge of teaching children of various ages how to swim. It was a very rewarding job, and I learned a lot from it. First of all, I learned how to be patient with children. Teaching different ages and levels of swimming ability required me to be patient and understanding of each individual’s needs. I learned how to be an effective leader, how to motivate and encourage my students, and how to make them feel comfortable in the pool. I also learned how to teach swimming in a fun and safe way. I had to be aware of safety precautions when teaching, and I had to be creative in order to keep the children engaged in the lessons. I came up with different games and activities to help them learn swimming techniques. Finally, I learned a great deal about the importance of teamwork. Working with the other instructors, we had to work together to ensure the safety of our students and to make sure that everyone was having a good time. We had to communicate and collaborate in order to ensure the success of each lesson. Overall, my experience as a swim instructor was one of the most interesting and rewarding jobs I have
