Yes, you can grow with Goldfish even if this is your after school or second job to help your future career

A day in the life as a swim instructor:

You will be responsible for the success of swim lessons by reviewing your class schedule and preparing your class materials and lesson themes. You'll teach 4 swimmers per class by going through our well-established and proven curriculum of water safety, swim and swimplay skills (6 swimmers in our infant, parent-and-me style lessons). After each 30 minute lesson, you communicate progress (and celebrate the accomplishments) with parents and caregivers.

Why choose Goldfish Swim School?
  • Our instructors are the reason we have a reputation for our golden experience & WOW customer service. They are the ones who show our families why they should choose Goldfish Swim School week after week, making learning (and work) FUN
  • We have a built-in growth track to help you grow personally and professionally - all of our leaders began as instructors We are actively growing our leadership team of Golden Teachers, Trainers (Golden Buddies) and Deck Supervisors - all you have to do is learn our curriculum, culture and build relationships from within your team
  • We practice our core values as much as we practice our swim skills and seek out others who believe in doing the right things, making the right decisions and teaching with integrity, compassion and trust
  • We are continuously awarded as top employers from our community and from those who matter most - our team
Benefits:

  • Must be able to commit to missing no more than one class every 6 weeks (80-90% attendance) for each day you work
  • You will find and prepare your own substitute teacher when you aren't able to teach yourself, leaving notes so that your substitute can be as fin-tastic as you are
  • Ability to be in the water for 4 hours at a time; this is an in-water position in a chlorinated pool and can be difficult for individuals with sensitive skin without proper pre and post shift care
