Swim Instructor

About Us

Here at British Swim School, we are more than just a fun, surface-level swim lesson provider. We strive to make a substantial impact within our communities to combat the tragically high child drowning statistics. 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. As a result, we support our mission “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 good at making parents feel comfortable. Experience with children or in a child-focused job is helpful but not required if you can 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.
