Seasonal Swim Instructor

Swim South Bay’s swim lesson program serves swimmers of all ages and abilities in a supportive, positive environment. All lessons are one-on-one allowing instructors to tailor each session to the swimmer’s unique needs, goals, and comfort level in the water. Rather than a level-based system, we focus on individual progress, meeting each swimmer where they are and helping them build confidence, comfort, and skill in the water over time.

 Swimmers are enrolled in a weekly lesson program, attending four 25 minute sessions per week (Monday through Thursday), allowing instructors to build strong relationships and create consistent, personalized instruction. Our swim lesson program is swum seasonally during the summer (June through the end of July).

We are seeking enthusiastic, patient, and dependable swim instructors who are passionate about working with swimmers of all ages. Instructors will provide engaging, safe, and individualized swim instruction while fostering a positive learning environment for every swimmer.
