Swim Instructor

British Swim School offers a unique opportunity to learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact in your community by ensuring “survival of the littlest.”

About Us

British Swim School is more than a swim lesson provider—we strive to combat the tragically high child drowning statistics by making a substantial impact within our communities. We invest in quality team members to teach our lessons with the mindset that we are two schools in one: a survival school first and a learn-to-swim school second. Our mission is “to ensure that every person, regardless of age or ability, has the opportunity to become a safe and happy swimmer.”

While we teach swimming to people of all ages and abilities, most of our students are preschool and elementary-aged kids. Our instructors should enjoy working with this age group and be skilled at making parents feel comfortable. Experience with children or in a child-focused role is helpful but not required if you demonstrate the right attitude.

Each franchise location is independently owned and operated by a franchisee. Your application will go directly to the franchisee, and all hiring decisions will be made by the management of this franchise location.
