We are looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic Swim Instructor Aide to support certified swim instructors in delivering high-quality swimming lessons to individuals of all ages and skill levels. This role is ideal for individuals who are passionate about water safety, enjoy working with children and adults, and are looking to gain experience in aquatic instruction. As a Swim Instructor Aide, you will play a vital role in ensuring a safe, fun, and educational environment for all participants.
Your primary responsibilities will include assisting with class setup and cleanup, helping students with basic swimming techniques, monitoring safety in and around the pool, and providing encouragement and support to learners. You will work closely with lead instructors to ensure that each class runs smoothly and that all participants receive the attention and guidance they need to improve their swimming skills.
This position requires strong communication skills, a positive attitude, and the ability to follow directions carefully. You should be comfortable in the water and capable of demonstrating basic swimming techniques. While certification is not required for this aide position, a willingness to pursue lifeguard or swim instructor certification is highly desirable.
The Swim Instructor Aide role is an excellent opportunity for high school or college students, aspiring swim instructors, or anyone interested in a career in aquatics, education, or recreation. You will gain valuable hands-on experience, develop leadership and teaching skills, and contribute to a meaningful cause—promoting water safety and confidence in the water.
This is typically a part-time, seasonal position with flexible hours, including evenings and weekends. Employment may be contingent upon passing a background check and completing basic water safety training provided by the employer.
