You will help students develop their swimming abilities, build confidence in the water, and promote water safety awareness.
In this role, you will plan and deliver structured swimming lessons tailored to the individual needs and abilities of each student.

We value instructors who are committed to continuous professional development and staying updated on best practices in swimming instruction and water safety. You will have opportunities to participate in training sessions, workshops, and certification programs to enhance your skills and knowledge.
