GLL is currently recruiting Trainee Swimming Teachers to join us at Basingstoke Sports Centre. All our Swimming Teachers are qualified to at least STA Level 2 Award in Teaching Swimming. The STA qualifications are nationally recognized and will equip you with skills to teach non-swimmers, beginners, and improvers.

If you have a passion and talent for swimming, you could be part of our team of Swimming Teachers and help give people of all ages a valuable life skill. We are the largest Swimming School in the UK, and our continued growth means we are looking to qualify and employ more Swimming Teachers.
