No prior teaching experience is required. Paid training is provided. About North Shore Swim Club North Shore Swim Club is a competitive swim organization focused on helping swimmers develop from their earliest experiences in the water through competitive team participation. Our instructional pathway begins with Lessons, where swimmers build water confidence, safety, floating, kicking, breathing, and introductory stroke skills through six progressive levels. Swimmers can then progress into Pre-Team, where they begin developing body balance, body position, freestyle, backstroke, and introductory breaststroke and butterfly skills while preparing for the transition into competitive swimming.
