We teach kids the life-saving skill of swimming with excellence in a fun and positive environment. Safety, skill-building and fun are our top priorities. We hold our employees to high expectations and also provide high support to help you reach your potential! We have a fun and fast paced environment. Swim Instructors will welcome a new group of kids every 20 to 40 minutes, teaching water safety and swimming skills, using songs, games and encouraging words. Our students range from the age of 6 months to 14 years and a few teens and adults paired with specially selected instructors. Instructors partner with parents, equipping them on how to help their child make the most progress possible and keep their child safe while around the water. The reward is great when an instructor gets to see the difference between an upset child who was afraid of the water at the beginning and the same child now is able to float, put her face in the water, etc. at the end of a swim session. Join us in reducing childhood drowning and giving kids a lifelong skill they can be proud of..
