Learn to Swim Teacher

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Little Big Swim School Full time $40,000 - $60,000 per year

About the role

Little Big Swim have a rare permanent full time job. We could totally settle for a few AMAZING casuals / part timers.

We are not your average swim school, and this is not your average teaching gig.

Working independently and reporting to the head coach, you will divide your time between our Bunya Learn to Swim Pool and our Samford Stroke Development / Squad pool, you will be part of the core teaching team.

We're an all hands on deck kind of crew and we all take up a life guarding shift or two as well.

Our Bunya location
is a roasty, toasty 32 degree salt water mineral outdoor (partially shaded) pool where our Baby and Kindy and Stroke Development Program lives. One class at a time in our 12m pool, small class ratios. It is a gift to teach here - it's quiet - you can really capture the attention and imagination of your young swimmers in this distraction free environment. This is where our teacher's refine their teaching and class management skills.

Our Samford location
is a 9 lane, 25m salt water pool. We teach Stroke Development, Mini Squad and Squads. The swim club, Samford Stingrays operate out of this pool and we are lucky enough to be heavily involved in the training of their competitive swimmers.

What you'll be doing

  • Baby to Kindy Aquatics at our Bunya location
  • Samford and Bunya teaching Stroke Development and / or Mini Squads in the afternoons (split shifts)
  • Providing correction driven instruction
  • Providing a safe emotional space for swimmers to Learn and engage with what is often their first experience in having a teacher / coach outside of formal education
  • We're a small, all hands on deck team. The role includes a bit of lifeguarding, a spot of cleaning, some general admin here and there. Our head coach asks for nothing she's not prepared to do herself

What we're looking for

You'll have a couple of years of experience under your belt, but if you have a long held, burning desire to teach swimming, I'd like to talk to you because being the right kind of person for the job first is really important.

  • Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills
  • Commitment to maintaining a safe and inclusive learning environment

What we offer

This really is a rare opportunity. So often in our industry Infant Aquatics and Stroke Development are disconnected from Squad. At Little Big many of our core team operate across both spaces, making the transition from Learn to Swim to Stroke Development and then Stroke Dev to Squads a seamless one for our swimmers. This helps us retain swimmers in the water, seeing the vast majority of our swimmers continue in the sport and develop endurance and competitive strokes.

Are you our Person?

If you think that we have one of the best jobs on the planet – that every shift has micro wins, and a lot of shifts have big wins – then you are our people.

If you are deeply invested in the outcomes of your swimmers, if you find a new teaching method or swimming drill and think 'YES' because you think it's a great solve for an individual swimmer who is struggling to progress, you are our people.

If you have felt held back by a restrictive program or lack of guidance provided by your operators, this job is for you.

If you love being part of a team, but SHINE on your own, you are our people.

Small class ratios, outcome based, correction driven programming.

Lots of ongoing support and professional development provided.

If you'd like to throw your swim cap into the ring, get in touch with Tanya.
