How does the academy work:

The academy allows aspiring teachers to receive all their training for only £79, compared to the usual cost of over £1,000. It includes mentoring to support your development, and you’ll be matched with an employer.

Successful applicants will complete their SEQ Level 1 Swimming Assistant (Teaching) and Level 2 Teaching Swimming qualifications and be supported through their training journey with Institute of Swimming Membership which includes over £100 worth of free e-learning. To help them develop, trainees will spend some time volunteering and get support from a mentor to ensure they have the necessary experience for the role and are ready to hit the poolside well equipped to teach.

Teaching swimming is an active and rewarding role. Work hours are generally part-time and there are a variety of working hours and contracts available across weekdays and weekends. Lessons typically run between 3:30-7.00 Monday – Friday and 8:30-1.00 Saturday and Sunday (exact times will vary depending on site/ region)

Above all, we ask that you are passionate about teaching and swimming and are able to demonstrate this with all tasks given to you.

Following the successful completion of training, there may be an opportunity to work across the following leisure centres;

• The Triangle, Triangle Way, Burgess Hill RH15 8WA
• The Dolphin, Pasture Hill Rd, Haywards Heath RH16 1LY
