Are you looking for a “job” that’s not a job at all? Something that brings you fulfillment, satisfaction, and purpose?

We have one for you!

British Swim School is a nationwide provider of survival and stroke development swim lessons with an enhanced focus on a gentle, fun, and progressive aquatics program. We are looking for fun-loving individuals to join our award‑winning team of swim instructors in the Northern East Bay Area.

Our mission is to prevent accidental drownings by teaching children and adults, in a fun way, how to swim and enjoy the water safely.

British Swim School has been teaching swim lessons via our signature method for 40 years. We are confident we can train anyone on how to teach our curriculum – as long as they enjoy the water and have a passion for child development and helping children to make progress and succeed.

Qualifications and Requirements

• Be a swimmer. Ideally, you have an understanding of all four strokes and an overall appreciation for the water.
• Love working with children and seeing them progress.
• Be upbeat and ready to enjoy having fun at work. Having fun is mandatory!
• Year‑round indoor position; looking for longer‑term employees.
• Be able to work weekend mornings from 8:45 am–1:30 pm.
• Be able to work weekdays from 2:45 pm–7:30 pm.
• Be able to reliably commute to our pool location in Richmond.

• Structured, paid training.
• A position filled with purpose and fun.
• A dynamic and rewarding mission‑based corporate culture.

• Flexible schedules—shifts are 4–5 hours; easy to schedule around school or other jobs and you can select your own schedule every month.
• Periodic cost‑of‑living adjustments (individual and collective).

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 working 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. 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.”

Each franchise location is independently owned and operated by a franchisee. Your application will go directly to the franchisee, and all hiring decisions will be made by the management of this franchisee.
