Swim Instructor – British Swim School of San Diego

Reports to: Aquatics Manager

Status: Part-time, Hourly Typically 2-4 days a week 4-5 hours a shift
Wage: Starting at $20/hr, $20.50/hr for Lifeguards

Now Hiring for most locations – Immediate Openings | Not a summer only role but must be available through the summer

Locations: Rancho Penasquitos, Escondido, UTC Mall, Kearny Mesa, Santee, El Cajon, Bonita/Chula Vista

Why This Role Matters

Drowning is the #1 cause of accidental death in children under 5. As a Swim Instructor with British Swim School of San Diego, you're not just teaching swimming — you're giving kids and adults a life-saving skill and the confidence to enjoy the water safely. The best part? You get to have fun doing it. Every class is an opportunity to make a genuine impact while building real relationships with your students and their families.

About the Role

Swim Instructors teach lessons to students of all ages and abilities, following the British Swim School curriculum to build water survival skills, propulsion, and stroke development — all in a fun, gentle, and encouraging environment.

We're hiring for multiple locations across San Diego, and we welcome candidates who can commit to one location or travel across several.

Why You'll Love Working Here

Save lives and have fun at the same time — few jobs let you do both
A team that feels like family — we're proud of our supportive, positive culture where instructors genuinely enjoy coming to work. We also do regular team bonding events!
Ongoing training and development — beyond your initial certification, we invest in your continued growth with additional coaching to make you the best instructor you can be
All training is paid — from day one, your time is valued
Consistent scheduling — once trained, you'll have a reliable weekly schedule you can count on
Growth Opportunities: All of our higher level employees including our deck ambassadors, trainers, leads, managers and even our director started off as instructors in the water. We believe in promoting and holding onto good talent!
Employee discounts and a flexible part-time schedule that works around your life

Responsibilities

Deliver engaging swim lessons following British Swim School teaching methods, safety protocols, and emergency procedures
Demonstrate your "show-time" abilities during lessons- excited, animated, and playful, making sure the kids are having fun and happy to come back.
Arrive poolside in uniform at least 15 minutes before your first lesson
Attend staff meetings and ongoing training sessions as requested
Communicate regularly with the Aquatics Managers and Director
Work a flexible schedule that may include weekends and holidays
Stand in the water for up to 5 consecutive hours; move kids around and physically assist students in and out of the pool as needed

What We're Looking For

Enthusiastic, patient, and people-oriented personality
Strong communication skills with children, parents, and teammates
Ability to follow structured schedules, safety procedures, and teaching methods
Ability to physically manage children of all ages and sizes in the pool and help them around and in and out of the water (All pools have shallow water)
Lifeguard, CPR, or First Aid certification is a plus — but not required; we support obtaining it after hire
Reliable transportation to reach training facilities and assigned pool locations

Training & Schedule

All instructors complete approximately 40 hours of paid training (online and in-water) at one of our locations typically including our Rancho Peñasquitos pool. Once certified, ongoing coaching and additional training opportunities keep you sharp and growing. After training, you'll be set up with a consistent weekly schedule based on your availability and location needs.

Available shifts:

Monday–Thursday: 3:00–7:30/8:00 PM
Saturday–Sunday: 9:00 AM–1:30/2:30 PM

Please note: Pool availability varies by location and day. We do not offer half-shifts, so full availability within one or more of these windows is required. New candidates should be willing to work ideally 3-4 of these days.

Our Locations

We currently operate pools across 7 San Diego locations: Rancho Peñasquitos · UTC Mall · Kearny Mesa · Escondido · Santee · El Cajon · Bonita

Most of our instructors work across multiple locations. Final assignments are based on availability, need, and proximity.
