Swim Instructor

Make a difference every day — and get paid to have fun in the water!

You don’t need to be a competitive swimmer — it’s OK if you’re not a fantastic swimmer. We’ll teach you how to teach. If you’re energetic, love kids, and want a job that matters, we’re the place for you.

We reward our instructors based on performance — the more students on your schedule, the more you’ll earn. Your pay grows as your student base grows, plus monthly lesson bonuses when students re-enroll.
