Join Our Swim Instructor Team at Bulldog Swim Academy!
Do you love working with kids? Want to make a real difference in the water? We’re looking for friendly, supportive, and high-energy Swim Instructors to help children (ages 4–12) build confidence, safety, and skill in the pool.
Whether you're experienced or just starting out, if you bring a positive attitude and care about kids, we’ll train you on our proven curriculum and support your growth every step of the way.
What You’ll Do:
Lead fun, structured swim lessons for children ages 6 months to 12 years (focus on ages 4–12).
Follow our progressive, skill-based curriculum tailored to each student’s comfort and confidence.
Keep classes safe, focused, and full of small victories—no matter the student’s starting point.
Communicate clearly and kindly with parents and caregivers after class.
Create a warm, welcoming pool environment that helps even nervous swimmers feel at home.
What We’re Looking For:
A genuine love for kids and teaching
Strong communication and patience—especially with first-timers or nervous swimmers.
Comfort in the water and basic swimming ability (we’ll teach you how to teach).
Previous coaching or swim instruction experience is a plus, but not required.
Current CPR/AED and First Aid certification (or willingness to get certified with our help).
Why Join Bulldog Swim Academy?
Be part of a purpose-driven team teaching lifelong water safety and confidence.
Train with experienced mentors and a clearly defined skill progression.
Positive, community-centered environment with amazing kids and families.
Opportunities for growth, leadership, and additional certifications.
