Sports writer & database coordinator – $20 – $30 an hour
SwimSwam is looking for a writer and swim database coordinator to join the staff on a full-time basis to help cover the news of swimming.
The ideal candidate will have a background in competitive swimming as an athlete and/or coach and will also be engaged in the news cycle of the sport (most likely as a SwimSwam reader). This person will be responsible for maintaining several swim data databases as well. While deep math skills are not necessary, an affinity for data is a huge plus.
The ideal candidate will be expected to work a minimum of 40 hours per week, with extra hours needed during big meets. Schedule is flexible, but will include working some weekends and evenings on a fairly-regular basis.
Candidates should also have a strong writing background, either formally or through active participation in online communities, and must be comfortable asking difficult questions either over the phone or via email.
