Make waves and pave the way for your career! At Goldfish Swim School, we’re passionate about building confident swimmers and careers for our team members. Our team is the reason we have a reputation for our golden experience & WOW customer service. They show our families why they should choose Goldfish Swim School week after week, making learning (and work) FUN!

We’re now hiring year-round, part-time instructors with leadership opportunities available within your first 3-6 months. Join as an instructor and explore the fin-tastic opportunities (and endless fish puns), even if this is your after school or second job.

Benefits:

• Competitive wage of $19-$21 per hour and thorough training (fully paid) to help you feel confident in your abilities
• Frequent and regular pay raises with positive performance feedback. All of our leaders and front desk staff started as instructors! We are actively growing our leadership team of Golden Teachers, Trainers (Golden Buddies), and Deck Supervisors - all you need to do is learn our curriculum, culture, and build relationships from within your team.
• Free swim lessons for children & siblings
• Gift cards, swag, staff outings, and other rewards like pizza after a long night in the pool

We are a culture-driven company. We practice our core values as much as we practice our swim skills and seek out those 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 by our community and team!

Requirements:

• Ability to swim; everyone on our team is lifeguard, CPR & AED certified. You’ll go through our in-house lifeguard certification program and must pass a basic swim test (50 yards).
• 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 can’t teach yourself, leaving notes so 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 challenging for those with sensitive skin without proper pre- and post-shift care.

Schedule:

• This position is ideal for those aged 16 and up interested in a part-time role. Your schedule will be based on your availability and our set lesson times, which include:
• 9:00-1:00 on Monday and Tuesday
• 4:00-7:30 Monday through Wednesday
• 4:00-7:00 on Thursday
• 9:00-1:00 on Saturday
• 9:00-4:00 on Sunday

You’ll be scheduled for the same days each week (e.g., every Monday from 4:00-8:00) and should arrive 15 minutes before lessons start for the pre-shift meeting. We do not offer half-shifts or mid-shifts; you must be available for the specified lesson times.
