Make a Splash. Make a Difference. Change Lives!
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.
We're looking for someone with actual hands-on experience working with individuals with disabilities who understands the importance of individualized instruction, patience, flexibility, and celebrating progress at every stage.
What You'll Do
- Provide individualized, safety-focused swim lessons for swimmers with diverse abilities
- Adapt instruction to meet sensory, communication, behavioral, and developmental needs
- Use positive reinforcement, visual supports, and individualized teaching strategies
- Help swimmers develop water confidence, independence, and essential survival skills
- Collaborate with adaptive program leadership to establish goals and track progress
- Build positive, supportive relationships with swimmers and their families
What We're Looking For
Previous hands-on experience working with individuals with disabilities is required.
Ideal candidates may have experience in:
- Adaptive swim instruction or adaptive aquatics
- Special education or paraprofessional support
- ABA therapy or Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) roles
- Occupational therapy, recreational therapy, or direct support services
- 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.
Compensation: $22.00 per hour
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.”
