GLL are currently recruiting trainee Swimming Teachers to join us at Thame. All of 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 a growing number of Swimming Teachers. If you'd like the opportunity to gain the qualifications and training needed to teach people of all ages and abilities how to swim, apply to be a Trainee Swimming Teacher.
