Overview

Pacific Flow Swim Instructors LOVE kids and LOVE the water! We are passionate about teaching, water safety, building community, and playing. We mostly teach infants (and their parents), pre-schoolers, and grade school children, but we offer lessons for teens and adults as well. Swim Instructors may work part time or full time and are eligible for other opportunities (leadership, lifeguard, customer service desk)

Pacific Flow Instructors…

• Have a SAFETY-FIRST-AND-ALWAYS mindset. We have line-of-sight of our students at all times. We anticipate potential risk. We are constantly analyzing and adapting based on student behavior, student skill set, depth of water, environmental conditions, and our own abilities.
• LOVE children. We love watching them laugh, play, learn, pretend, and be silly. We lean in to challenges like nervousness, crying, going under water for the first time, and even pouting and talking back.
• Speak to children at eye-level with age relevant conversations.
• Embrace FEEDBACK. We are constantly learning, training, and just like our students, making progress. We seek feedback from our leaders, our students, each other, parents…then we incorporate that feedback into our lessons.
• Thrive being ON STAGE. We are and appear to be calm, collected, friendly, playful, and above all…professional.
• Practice extreme patience.
• Work mornings, nights, and weekends—we work when our swimmers swim.
• Have consistent schedules. Our students book specific and consistent times, and look forward to seeing their instructor at that time.
• Are at home in the water. We know how to take care of our bodies so that we can comfortably spend hours in chlorinated water, in a swimsuit, in various weather, safely enter and exit a pool, support kids of all sizes in various depths, and maintain a teaching voice.
• Are able to pass a background check and clear California's child-care registry.
