The role operates under the Lead Strength and Conditioning Coach and has no stated staff-management authority.

Salary and Role Alignment
Amber. The advertised CAD $61,024 to $86,160 range appears somewhat modest at its lower end relative to Level 6 autonomy, national para-swimming responsibility, return-to-sport complexity and the requirement for at least five years of elite-athlete experience. The upper range, pension contribution and insurance benefits improve alignment. Under the IUSCA IQF Role Classification & Salary Alignment methodology, this results in an Amber rating.
