Do you love working with kids? Want to make a real difference in the water? We’re looking for friendly, supportive, and high-energy Swim Instructors to help children (ages 4–12) build confidence, safety, and skill in the pool.


Whether you're experienced or just starting out, if you bring a positive attitude and care about kids, we’ll train you on our proven curriculum and support your growth every step of the way.


What You’ll Do:

• Lead fun, structured swim lessons for children ages 6 months to 12 years (focus on ages 4–12).
• Follow our progressive, skill-based curriculum tailored to each student’s comfort and confidence.
• Keep classes safe, focused, and full of small victories—no matter the student’s starting point.
• Communicate clearly and kindly with parents and caregivers after class.
• Create a warm, welcoming pool environment that helps even nervous swimmers feel at home.

What We’re Looking For:

• A genuine love for kids and teaching
• Strong communication and patience—especially with first-timers or nervous swimmers.
• Comfort in the water and basic swimming ability (we’ll teach you how to teach).
• Previous coaching or swim instruction experience is a plus, but not required.
• Current CPR/AED and First Aid certification (or willingness to get certified with our help).

• Train with experienced mentors and a clearly defined skill progression.
