Help kids discover what they can do.
The best part of working at The Swim Space is seeing a child’s confidence grow, one small win at a time. If you enjoy being around kids, like helping people, and are someone the team can count on, there could be a place for you here.
Whether you’re looking for your first job, are already a swim instructor, or would like to get back in the pool, we’re hiring for Customer Service, Swim Instructors, and our Learn 2 B an Instructor program.
A different kind of part-time job
The Swim Space is purpose-built for teaching children.
Our pool is warm and shallow. Classes are small. Our team works together closely. And our focus is not simply getting through a lesson.
We're here to help kids learn to Love The Water.
You'll have the opportunity to see the same swimmers every week and watch their confidence and skills grow because of something you helped teach them.
That's a pretty good way to spend a shift.
When we work
Our swim lessons run Tuesday through Sunday, primarily after school, evenings and weekends.
Tuesday to Friday: 4:00PM to 8:30PM
Saturday and Sunday: 7:45AM to 5:15PM (weekend shift start and end times vary)
Part-time schedules can work particularly well for high school students, university and college students, athletes and people balancing other commitments.
We ask that staff commit to one to two shifts per week.
