British Swim School is growing our adaptive swim program, and we're looking for compassionate, experienced individuals who are passionate about helping swimmers of all abilities become safer and more confident in the water.
Our adaptive program serves swimmers with autism, developmental disabilities, sensory processing differences, and other unique learning needs.

- Collaborate with adaptive program leadership to establish goals and track progress

- Autism-focused or other disability-support programs
Additional qualifications:
- Strong understanding of sensory, communication, and behavioral support strategies
- Confidence and comfort working in the water
- Patience, adaptability, and excellent communication skills
- Dependability and consistent availability
Adaptive aquatics experience is strongly preferred, but we will consider candidates with significant disability-support experience who are willing to learn our swim instruction methodology.

British Swim School – Any Age. Any Stage.
Working at British Swim School is more than just a job; it’s a chance to create a lasting impact that could change a child's life.
As part of the British Swim School Team, you play a role in your local community, empowering others and sharing your passion. It’s a chance to be part of a fun-loving team of dedicated people who are committed to promoting water safety and a lifelong love of the water.
While we teach swimming to people of all ages and abilities, most of our students are preschool and elementary-aged kids. Our instructors should like working with this age group and be good at making parents feel comfortable. It's helpful if you have experience with children or in a child-focused job, but it's not required if you can show the right attitude. The job comes with specialized training in our advanced and unique British Swim School approach.
We also have exciting opportunities with our Customer Service Team, even if you're not in the pool. These are the people committed to providing the best service in the industry. In these roles, you might talk to parents on the phone or by the pool. Wherever you are, the aim is to make everyone feel like part of the British Swim School Family as we focus on ensuring the “Survival of the Littlest.”
