What are the responsibilities and job description for the Swim Instructor (Teach Kids. Build Confidence. Save Lives.) position at Aqua-Tots Swim Schools?
Read This First
This is not a typical part-time job.
We are not looking for people who:
- Just want something easy
- Call out frequently
- Show up late or do the bare minimum
We are building a team of reliable, high-energy, growth-minded individuals who take pride in their work.
If that’s not you, this won’t be a fit.
What Makes This Different
At Aqua-Tots, you won’t just “teach swim lessons.”
You will:
- Teach life-saving skills to children
- Build confidence and character in kids and parents
- Develop communication, leadership, and coaching skills
- Be part of a team that actually pushes you to improve
What You’ll Do
- Lead structured swim lessons for children (4 months and up)
- Create a high-energy, safe, and engaging environment
- Build trust with families and become a consistent part of their routine
- Accept feedback and actively work to improve your performance
- Show up prepared, on time, and ready to lead every shift
Who Thrives Here
People who succeed in this role tend to be:
- Dependable (you do what you say you’ll do)
- High energy (you bring it every shift)
- Coachable (you want feedback and actually use it)
- Team-oriented (you support others and hold standards)
- Growth-minded (you don’t want to stay the same)
No experience needed—character matters more than anything.
Pay & Perks
- Paid training (we invest in you from day one)
- Weekly pay
- Flexible scheduling (with consistent expectations)
- Team events, outings, and recognition
- Employee discounts referral bonuses
- Sundays off
Growth Path (For Those Who Earn It)
This is not a dead-end role.
Top performers can quickly move into:
- Lead Instructor
- Trainer
- Leadership roles
We promote based on performance, not tenure.
Schedule Expectations
- Part-time hours
- Afternoon, evening, and weekend availability strongly preferred
- Consistency and reliability are required
Why This Role Matters
