Swim Instructor

Goldfish Swim School

Job Description

Job Description

Job Title: Swim Instructor
Reports to: Deck Supervisor
FLSA Status: Part time, Non-Exempt

Summary: We’re looking for a patient, energetic, and student-centered Swim Instructor to bring our curriculum to life in the water. This role is where the magic happens - you’ll teach kids foundational water safety and swim skills, build genuine connections with students and their families, and take real ownership of each child’s progress. If you love working with kids, communicate naturally with parents, and find energy in watching someone conquer something hard, this role is built for you.

Duties and Responsibilities: 
  • Deliver swim instruction based on the Goldfish Swim School curriculum with consistency, energy, and a focus on student growth.
  • Enforce safety rules and regulations on the pool deck daily to prevent accidents and maintain a secure environment.
  • Accurately evaluate student progress and complete skill evaluations on time.
  • Connect with parents and guardians after lessons to share student updates, celebrate wins, and address concerns with care.
  • Use creative problem-solving to help students work through challenges and keep progressing.
  • Maintain and properly store all pool equipment, including placing and removing lane lines.
  • Assist with light cleaning duties such as deck mopping, window washing, and trash removal as needed.
What We’re Looking For: 
  • Reliable, upbeat, and ready to show up with energy every shift.
  • Eagerness to obtain a Lifeguard certification and a desire to grow.
  • Experience as a certified lifeguard, youth sports coach, camp counselor, or childcare provider, or similar.
  • Comfortable and confident in the water - swimming experience strongly preferred.
  • A natural communicator who connects easily with kids and puts parents at ease.
  • Detail-oriented with the ability to track multiple students’ progress accurately.
  • Must be available for evening and weekend shifts.
  • While performing this job, the employee is regularly exposed to heat, humidity, and chlorine. Noise level is usually moderate.
What Success Looks Like:
  • Every student is progressing and no child is slipping through the cracks.
  • Families feel informed, appreciated, and excited about their child’s development.
  • Lessons are delivered with consistency and enthusiasm, exactly as the curriculum intends.
  • The pool deck is safe, clean, and ready before the first student arrives.
Our Culture: At Goldfish Swim School, we believe every child deserves to be safe in and around water. Our team is passionate, people-first, and committed to a golden experience every day. As a Swim Instructor, you’re the person who makes that real - one lesson, one level-up, one confident kid at a time.
