Beyond the fun and enjoyment that swimming brings, learning how to do it correctly plays a crucial role in equipping children with vital life skills and can save lives.
With the peak summer season just around the corner, there is no better time than now to become a swim instructor and dive into a fulfilling career with Aquamoves, just like swim instructors and lifeguards Tanya Roberts and Ayla Jackson have been enjoying for years.
Tanya’s love for swimming built a personal passion to encourage parents to get their children in the water and learn to swim. She has now been a swim instructor with Aquamoves for 20 years.
“Learning how to swim is an important skill that every child should learn,” Tanya said.
“It also encourages them to be brave and courageous, and those traits can carry over throughout their whole life.
“It’s a really rewarding job that I thoroughly enjoy, and with six kids myself, the job flexibility is amazing.”
Ayla Jackson loves the atmosphere and the environment that her role brings. She was inspired to become a swim teacher after being in the Shepparton Swim Team.
“I have been coming to the pool since I was seven years old, and after being on the swim team, it felt like a natural progression to become a swim instructor,” Ayla said.
"I love inspiring the kids and watching them come such a long way in such a short time. Their confidence grows so quickly — it’s such a fun job.”
Working as a swim instructor offers more than just a fulfilling career — it’s an opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of children and their families.
“You’ll witness first-hand the progress and growth of your students as they become confident swimmers. Additionally, the job provides a sense of satisfaction and joy as you create a fun and supportive learning environment for children to thrive.
Whether you’re a parent seeking flexible work hours, a grandparent looking for an enjoyable way to spend time, or a student over the age of 16 seeking part-time employment, Aquamoves welcomes individuals of all ages to join their team.
They value diversity and appreciate the unique contributions that each person brings.
To apply for a swim instructor position, you'll need a Swim Teacher certificate, CPR certificate, Police Check and a valid Working with Children's Check.
