Working at British Swim School is so much more than just a job...it’s an opportunity to leave a legacy that may transform a child’s life.
Since opening our doors in 1981, British Swim School has rapidly grown to be the premier water survival and learn-to-swim school. Our mission is “to ensure that every person, regardless of age or ability, has the opportunity to become a safe and happy swimmer.”
We are constantly growing our enthusiastic team – and with over 200 locations across the US and Canada, there may be an opening near you!
Across every role and in each of our swim schools, our goal is to make everyone in the British Swim School family feel welcome as we work to ensure the “Survival of the Littlest.” With this mantra in mind, you’ll join a fun-loving team committed to promoting water safety and a lifelong love of the water.
While we teach swimming to all ages and abilities, most of our students are preschool and elementary-aged children, so our instructor team needs to enjoy working with this young age group while also putting parents at ease.
