SWIM INSTRUCTOR — LITTLE KICKERS SWIM SCHOOL

Reports To

Aquatics Director

Compensation

$20 – $50 / hour (based on tier level)

Employment Type

Part-Time or Full-Time Hourly

ABOUT THIS ROLE

Little Kickers Swim School is not your average swim school — and this is not your average swim instructor job. We are a team of passionate, career-minded people who are changing what aquatics looks like. We hold ourselves to a world class standard, we invest deeply in our instructors, and we protect our culture fiercely. If you are looking for a place to clock in and clock out, this is not it. If you are looking for a place to build something real, grow, and be part of a team that genuinely cares — keep reading.

We are selective. We hire people who want to be here for the long haul, who take pride in what they do, and who understand that what we do matters. Our families trust us with their most precious people, and we take that seriously every single day.

We run a five-tier instructor advancement system, with our top Tier 5 instructors earning up to $50/hour. From your very first shift, you are on a path to grow. We invest in you because we believe great swim instruction is a career, not a side job.

COMPENSATION & GROWTH

Starting Pay: $25/hour from day one
60-Day Review: Opportunity to earn up to $32/hour based on performance
Bi-Annual Reviews: Structured reviews with a clear level system and transparent path for advancement

BENEFITS

Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance: For employees working 30+ hours per week (our full-time threshold) 401(k):
PTO & Sick Time

NON-NEGOTIABLE REQUIREMENTS

Please do not apply if you do not meet all of the following:

Comfort and confidence in the water — you must be a strong, capable swimmer
Genuine passion for working with children from five months old through school age
Comfort working independently with infants and young children — parents do not enter the water at Little Kickers, even with our youngest swimmers. You must be confident holding, supporting, and instructing babies and toddlers on your own
Reliable, consistent availability — our kids build trust with their instructors and our families count on you being there
Strong communication skills with both children and parents
A career mindset — we are looking for people who want to grow with us, not just fill a shift

OUR CULTURE — YOU MUST LIVE THESE

At Little Kickers, our core values are not wall art. They are how we hire, how we coach, and how we hold each other accountable. This role requires someone who does not just understand these values — but embodies them:

Have Freakin’ Fun

Energy is contagious. You bring it every single lesson.

Sweat

You work hard. You are in the water. You lead by example.

World Class Service

Every family. Every class. Every time.

Be Rock Solid

Reliable. Consistent. Your kids can count on you.

Build Connections

With students, families, and your fellow instructors.

Learn, Improve, Grow

You are never done getting better. Neither are your students.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

Instruction — This Is the Heart of the Role

You will deliver private, one-on-one swim lessons to children ranging from five months old through swim team level. This is focused, intentional, high quality instruction that makes a real difference in a child's life. Parents cheer from the viewing gallery while you own the water. No parents in the pool. Ever. From day one, you are the one building trust, providing comfort, and creating a safe and joyful experience for every single child in your lane.

Conduct engaging, structured private lessons for children of all ages and skill levels
Independently support and instruct infants and young children without parents in the water — confidence with babies is a must
Follow the Little Kickers curriculum and five-tier instructional framework
Assess each swimmer and tailor instruction to meet them exactly where they are
Provide real-time feedback and encouragement that builds genuine confidence
Adapt your approach to accommodate different skill levels, learning paces, and abilities
Create a fun, supportive environment where kids feel safe to try, fail, and grow

Safety and Supervision

Safety is non-negotiable. Full stop. Every child in your lane is your responsibility, and you treat it that way.

Maintain constant vigilance and active supervision during every lesson
Enforce safety rules, pool protocols, and emergency procedures without exception
Ensure proper use of pool equipment and immediate response to any safety concern

Parent and Family Communication

Families trust us with their most precious people. Your communication after every lesson is a direct reflection of our world class standard.

Provide consistent, meaningful updates to parents and guardians on their child's progress after every lesson
Communicate achievements, areas for growth, and next steps with warmth and clarity
Coordinate with fellow instructors, front of house staff, and management to ensure consistency across the team

Professional Development

We are building career-track instructors, not part-time pool staff. We expect that same investment back from you.

Attend and actively participate in staff meetings and trainings
Complete required certification courses and stay current on safety protocols
Pursue advancement through our five-tier instructor system with the support of your Aquatics Director
Embrace feedback, coaching, and continuous improvement as a core part of the job
