Make a Splash. Make a Difference. Change Lives!

British Swim School is growing our adaptive swim program, and we're looking for compassionate, experienced individuals who are passionate about helping swimmers of all abilities become safer and more confident in the water.

Our adaptive program serves swimmers with autism, developmental disabilities, sensory processing differences, and other unique learning needs.

We're looking for someone with actual hands-on experience working with individuals with disabilities who understands the importance of individualized instruction, patience, flexibility, and celebrating progress at every stage.

What You'll Do

• Provide individualized, safety-focused swim lessons for swimmers with diverse abilities
  
  
• Adapt instruction to meet sensory, communication, behavioral, and developmental needs
  
  
• Use positive reinforcement, visual supports, and individualized teaching strategies
  
  
• Help swimmers develop water confidence, independence, and essential survival skills
  
  
• Collaborate with adaptive program leadership to establish goals and track progress
  
  
• Build positive, supportive relationships with swimmers and their families
  
  

What We're Looking For

Previous hands-on experience working with individuals with disabilities is required.

Ideal candidates may have experience in:

• Adaptive swim instruction or adaptive aquatics
  
  
• Special education or paraprofessional support
  
  
• ABA therapy or Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) roles
  
  
• Occupational therapy, recreational therapy, or direct support services
  
  
• Autism-focused or other disability-support programs
  
  

Additional qualifications:

• Strong understanding of sensory, communication, and behavioral support strategies
  
  
• Confidence and comfort working in the water
  
  
• Patience, adaptability, and excellent communication skills
  
  
• Dependability and consistent availability
  
  

Adaptive aquatics experience is strongly preferred, but we will consider candidates with significant disability-support experience who are willing to learn our swim instruction methodology.

Why Join Our Team?

• Starting pay of $22/hour
  
  
  
• Paid, hands-on swim instruction training
  
  
• Support from dedicated adaptive program leadership
  
  
• Opportunities for professional growth
