Job Description

Head Swim Instructor | $25-$35/hr | Campbell, CA | Part-Time to Full-Time, Year-Round | Indoor Heated Pool (90&degree;F)

Sutton Swim School is a family-owned, year-round indoor swim school with a warm 90-degree pool. We're growing, and we're hiring seasoned instructors to help train our team, develop our trainers, and shape how SSS teaches swimming for years to come.

This is not an entry level position. We are looking for an aquatic educator that is dedicated to this industry. Someone who leads by example, in the water and on the deck, and earn respect through technical excellence, steady presence, and genuine investment in the growth of every person on the team. If you've spent years teaching and you're also ready to invest in others the way someone once invested in you, we want to talk.

We believe water safety is one of the most important skills a person can carry through life, and we treat it that way. Great swimming is taught, not just demonstrated. From foundational water safety to real stroke development, we care about building skill that actually transfers. We're always refining how we teach, how we train, and how we show up for the families who trust us with their children.

These roles were created because SSS is growing. There is a genuine path toward expanded responsibility in curriculum development, training program design, and organizational leadership. We are not offering titles. We are offering seats at the table as we build something worth being part of.

What you bring:

• 4+ years of swim instruction experience across infant, child, and adult populations
• At least 3 years in a supervisory, management, or instructor training role
• Demonstrated ability to train instructors and to develop other instructor trainers
• Composure, emotional maturity, and leadership presence under pressure
• Availability of at least 20 hours per week, including Saturdays

Why you should apply:

• Leadership-level pay and opportunities 
• Paid training and reliable scheduling; schedules do not change weekly
  
• Health benefits after 30 hours per week
• Not required to work holidays
• Real growth path in curriculum design, training, and organizational leadership
• CPR and First Aid Certification paid for by us
• Access to showers, individual changing rooms, and a generous breakroom

Submit your resume and application and we'll be in touch after review. We look forward to meeting you.
