Job Description

Description:

“You’ll never forget the first child who swims because of you.”

At British Swim School, being a swim instructor is more than just a job — it's a calling. You'll help children and adults gain a critical life skill while building confidence in and around water. We're looking for passionate individuals who want to make the world a safer place, one swimmer at a time.

If your heart lights up when a child says, “I did it!” …

If you believe in cheering the loudest for the littlest victories …

If you're searching for more than just a job —

You’ve just found your purpose.

We do believe happy instructors create the best lessons. That’s why we foster a supportive work environment where you’ll be surrounded by teammates who share your energy, passion, and positive attitude. When you enjoy what you do, it shows — and that’s exactly the experience we want every student and staff member to have.

In this unique role, you’ll teach essential water safety and swimming skills in the pool and deliver outstanding customer service on the pool deck. Whether you're leading a class or helping families at check-in, you’ll play a key role in creating a safe, fun, and rewarding experience.

What You’ll Do:

  • Teach swim lessons to children and adults using our fun, proven curriculum (extensive training provided!).
  • Greet and check in families, assist with scheduling, and help manage pool deck operations.
  • Keep students safe, engaged, and progressing in the water.
  • Support a positive, team-oriented atmosphere — both in and out of the pool.

What We’re Looking For:

  • You love working with kids and making a difference.
  • You’re reliable, upbeat, and comfortable in the water.
  • Previous experience in customer service, education, coaching, or childcare is a plus.
  • Must be able to work evenings and/or weekends.
  • Must be able to swim comfortably in a deep pool
  • Must complete our paid swim instructor training.

Perks & Benefits:

  • Pay starting at $16.50/h + potential $2.70/h performance bonus
  • Paid training – swimming skills required.
  • Flexible scheduling – perfect for students, parents, or those seeking a second job.
  • Opportunities for advancement and leadership.
  • A fun, rewarding role where you literally save lives!
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Paid birthday off and paid holidays
  • Eligible for a monthly bonus

Apply today and join a team that’s making waves in water safety!

British Swim School is proud to be a mission-driven organization — come grow with us!
