Job Type: Part-Time
Make Waves. Change Lives. Save Lives.
At Goldfish Swim School, we're about more than teaching swim lessons. We're on a mission to help children become safer in and around the water, build confidence, and develop skills that could one day save their lives.
Drowning remains a leading cause of preventable death among children. Our Swim Instructors are on the front lines of changing those statistics, one swimmer and one lesson at a time.
We're looking for enthusiastic, dependable individuals who love working with children, enjoy teamwork, and want to make a meaningful difference. No previous swim instruction experience is required! We'll provide the training and tools you need to succeed.
What You'll Do
- Teach children of varying ages and abilities using the Goldfish Swim School curriculum.
- Deliver safe, fun, and engaging lessons that build swimming skills and water safety awareness.
- Follow our 6 Key Points of effective instruction.
- Monitor swimmer progress and complete assigned skill evaluations.
- Communicate with parents about swimmer development and accomplishments.
- Maintain a safe pool environment by following all safety procedures.
- Support teammates and contribute to a positive work environment.
- Participate in ongoing training, coaching, and professional development.
- Arrive prepared and on time for scheduled shifts.
What We're Looking For
- Enjoyment of working with children.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- Dependability, punctuality, and a strong work ethic.
- Positive attitude and willingness to learn.
- Ability to work collaboratively and support teammates.
- Openness to feedback and a desire to continuously improve.
- Comfort working in and around a swimming pool.
Previous swimming, lifeguarding, or teaching experience is a plus, but not required!
What Success Looks Like

- Quality: Delivering safe, structured, engaging lessons while consistently following the Goldfish curriculum.
- Reliability: Showing up prepared, arriving on time, and maintaining consistent attendance.
- Teamwork & Growth: Supporting coworkers, accepting coaching, and continuously developing teaching skills.
Instructors receive ongoing feedback and are evaluated on lesson quality, curriculum execution, skill evaluations, and attendance.
