Full job description

If you are looking for a job where you show up, teach your lane, and go home, this is not it.

But if you are the kind of person who walks into a pool deck and naturally raises the energy, who notices when a new instructor is struggling and steps in without being asked, who genuinely cares whether every child in the water goes home more confident than when they arrived, keep reading.

We are looking for a Head Swim Instructor to lead our programs across our Kanata and Nepean locations. Someone who can teach, lead, inspire, and hold the standard when no one is watching.

THE ROLE

This is a dual role. You will be in the water teaching, and you will be the person your team looks to when things get complicated.

You will move between our Kanata and Nepean locations. Part of your work, scheduling, admin, reporting, can be done remotely. The rest is on deck, in person, with your team and your swimmers.

This position is available full-time or part-time depending on the right candidate. Hours will be discussed during the interview (weekend availability is essential). Starting at $23.00/hour.

Full-time employees who complete the three-month probationary period are enrolled in our group insurance benefits plan.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

On deck teaching

Deliver private and semi-private and group lessons to children and adults across Kanata and Nepean
Tailor every lesson to the swimmer in front of you, no two are the same
Track progress and communicate meaningfully with families after every lesson
Be the kind of instructor families call and ask for by name

On deck leading

Supervise, coach, and inspire your team of instructors across both locations
Observe lessons and give feedback that actually makes people better
Support the onboarding and training of new team members
Be part of the hiring process you know a great instructor when you see one
Hold the standard on deck safety, quality, professionalism, attitude
Be the first call when something goes sideways

With families

Connect with parents and build the kind of trust that keeps families with us for years
Handle concerns and escalations with empathy and confidence
Make every family feel that their child is exactly where they should be

Remotely

Scheduling, administrative tasks, and reporting done from wherever works for you
Keep records and scheduling up to date and accurate

WHO YOU ARE

You have been teaching swimming for at least 3 years and leading people for at least 2 years.

You do not need to be managed. You manage yourself.

Beyond that, the right person for this role:

Has a natural ability to lead without making it about authority
Is as patient with a nervous beginner as they are firm with a struggling instructor
Communicates with warmth and clarity with families, with instructors, with management
Takes ownership of problems instead of escalating everything upward
Has reliable personal transportation and is comfortable moving between Kanata and Nepean
Is organized enough to manage remote admin alongside a busy on-deck schedule

Certifications required:

Valid National Lifeguard (NL) certification
Standard First Aid with CPR-C
Swim Instructor certification and asset
Vulnerable Sector Check (required for 18 years and older)
Eligibility to work in Canada

WHY THE AQUA LIFE SWIM ACADEMY

We are a private swim school with locations across Ontario. We take our work seriously and we take our people seriously.

$23.00/hour starting rate competitive for the experience we are asking for
Full-time or part-time we will find the right structure for the right person
Group benefits after probation for full-time staff
Flexibility part of this role is remote
A real leadership role with real impact across multiple locations
A team that genuinely cares about the work and about each other
Room to grow we promote from within and invest in our people
