Swim test that you should probably prep for, if you don't pass every part of the swim test then you wont get the chance to interview. The interview questions were mostly situational and some about your experience.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Discovery Cove (Orlando, FL) in Dec 2024
Interview
start off with swim test that's point based so don't have to pass 100%, non-scripted speech about your given topic afterwards. You're given time to catch your breath btwn it all. Then interview, I waited an hour for mine as there were 3 people ahead of me, whole process start to finish took about 4.5 hours. Interviewers/ swim testers were nice and friendly. I was emailed to interview for aquarist position but got interviewed for zoological specialist (trainer) position, so got a little confused and wasn't fully prepared for the questions. Did interview today and was told to wait 2-3 weeks before hearing an offer back. Base pay is 13.50. interview takes about 20 minutes and you're asked around 6-8 questions. half "tell me about" and half technical. part time is 4 days, 28-32hrs
