About Us
At British Swim School, we have been a trusted leader in swim education for over 40 years, dedicated to teaching water safety and survival skills to individuals of all ages. Our mission is to ensure that every person has the opportunity to become a safe, confident swimmer. The Halton franchise is expanding, and we are looking for a dedicated leader to champion our high standards of instruction and safety on a part-time basis.
Position Overview
We are seeking a mature, highly experienced part-time Aquatic Team Leader to head our instructional team and oversee daily pool operations. This is a pivotal management role designed for an established aquatics professional who can ensure a safe, positive, and dynamic recreational experience for our community.
You will be the backbone of our deck operations—responsible for mentoring, training, and managing our swim instructors. While this is primarily a leadership position, you must be someone who does not shy away from the water; you are fully expected to jump in on a need-basis to cover a class, lead by example, or provide hands-on coaching.
Key Responsibilities
- Team Leadership & Management: Supervise daily pool operations and provide guidance to lifeguards and staff members, fostering teamwork, accountability, and professionalism.
- Training & Quality Assurance: Conduct onboarding and ongoing training for instructors to ensure strict adherence to our curriculum. Be prepared to get into the water to demonstrate techniques, co-teach, or step in as a substitute instructor when required.
- Safety & Operations: Monitor pool areas continuously for safety hazards, enforce rules to prevent accidents, and maintain overall facility cleanliness and proper chemical levels.
- Emergency Response: Respond promptly to emergencies with total composure, including administering first aid or CPR when necessary.
- Customer & Program Support: Assist with organizing swim lessons and special events. Act as the primary point of contact for parents and patrons on the deck, addressing feedback and creating a welcoming environment.
Skills & Qualifications
- Deep Swimming Expertise: Exceptional swimming ability with absolute confidence in advanced water safety practices.
- Proven Leadership: Solid experience supervising or managing teams in recreational, aquatic, or educational settings.
- Maturity and Reliability: A grounded, professional individual who can work independently, lead by example, and remain calm under pressure during emergency situations.
- Strong Communication: Outstanding interpersonal skills to effectively mentor staff, connect with young children, and communicate professionally with parents.
- Physical & Schedule Flexibility: Ability to perform heavy lifting when necessary for equipment setup/maintenance, and the flexibility to work part-time hours, including weekends or evenings as needed.
- Required Certifications: Standard First Aid/CPR-C and swim instructor/lifeguard certifications (or equivalent experience; ongoing training and recertification support can be provided).
Why Join Us?
- Competitive Part-Time Compensation: Paid training and a leadership hourly rate reflective of your experience.
- Structured, Proven Curriculum: Work with a world-class, methodology-backed swim program.
- Flexibility & Impact: A rewarding part-time schedule that allows you to stay connected to the water while making a direct, life-saving difference in the Halton community.
