5 Reasons to teach swimming

If you love swimming, becoming a swim instructor might seem natural to you. However, you don't need to be a swimmer to be one! Here are five reasons to come and work for us, at any age:


Teaching kids a life saving skill

If you like kids and being around them, why not make that your job? It's not necessary that you have a teaching background, as you can teach this lifelong, lifesaving skill without that.


Passionate for swimming

Maybe you spent countless summers on the beach or were the star of your high school swimming team. As your passion of swimming grows, why not start a job doing something you love?


Flexibility for students 

At Aquatots, we employ several students as well. We understand its difficult to balance and find a job which works with your school schedule. Our swimming classes run throughout the entire day- morning, afternoon, evening, and weekends. This ensures that we have plenty of work opportunities for you to work around school.


Fun work culture

If you like to have a laugh and a little fun before, during, and after your shifts, Aquatots is the place! Our team does everything together to ensure we make our work place inclusive to all. Additionally, we reward hard work and always try to provide the most positive atmosphere.


Retired teachers or athletes

Are you are retired (or about to be) but still want to work? We would love to have you in our team with your skills and experience!
