About the Role

Bulldog Swim Academy is a warm, welcoming, and high-energy swim school focused on teaching water safety, confidence, and movement literacy to children and adults. We believe learning to swim should be joyful—not stressful—and that great instruction starts with great people.

We don’t train competitive swimmers. We develop safe, confident, happy humans in the water.

🌟 What Makes Us Different

• We teach through trust, not pressure. Our instructors are friendly, supportive, and trained to meet every swimmer where they’re at—whether they’re 6 months old or 60.
• We focus on consistency and progress. From structured curriculum to visible skill tracking and badges, students (and parents) can see improvement week to week.
• We care about people. Our staff are more than employees—they’re role models, mentors, and trusted guides for every family that walks through our doors.

Our Programs

• Water Babies (6 months–3 years): Parent-child classes focused on acclimation and joyful connection
• Youth (4–12 years): Independent, skill-based instruction with safety, stamina, and technique progression
• Discover Swimming (13+): Adult lessons designed for nervous beginners or those new to the water

Join the Bulldog Team

We’re always looking for kind, energetic, and organized people who want to make a real impact. Whether you're on deck, in the water, or supporting operations behind the scenes, you’ll help families feel welcome, supported, and safe.

Bonus Perk

• You get to work alongside Gilroy the Goggle Pup, our official mascot and spirit animal of confidence in the water!
