Join acac as our Swim Lesson Coordinator and help swimmers of all levels dive into success!

What You’ll Be Doing:

As our Swim Lesson Coordinator, you’ll be the go-to leader for all things swim lessons—from scheduling and staffing to teaching and celebrating progress. You'll keep the program running smoothly while creating a fun and safe learning environment for children and adults alike.

Your Day-to-Day Might Include:

• Hosting team meetings and keeping communication flowing.
• Teaching and demonstrating swim skills with energy and care.
• Providing excellent communication and progress updates to participants and families.
• Collaborating with our VP of Projects & Program Development to keep programs aligned and thriving.
• Taking an active role on the swim lesson project team.
• Tracking lesson progress and making sure everyone’s on course to succeed.
• Bringing the energy to every lesson—materials ready, pool prepped, and safety top-of-mind.
• Helping meet (and beat!) swim lesson revenue goals.
• Staying in-the-know about all things acac to best serve our members.

What You Bring to the Pool Deck:

• A love for swimming and teaching others.
• Leadership skills that inspire and motivate a team.
• Comfort in both shallow and deep water (and water that's warm or cool!).
• Ability to teach all levels with creativity, patience, and enthusiasm.
• Excellent communication and customer service skills.
• High school diploma preferred.
• Prior experience teaching swim lessons or coaching is a big plus.
• Must be at least 18 years old.
• Starfish Instructor Certification (or willingness to complete within 30 days of hire).

Physical Stuff (Nothing You Can’t Handle):

• You’ll be in the pool regularly using repetitive movements.
• You’ll work in warm, humid, sometimes noisy environments.
• Flexibility to work mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays.

What We Expect from You (and What You Can Expect from Us):

At acac, we’re all about delivering amazing member experiences—and that includes a strong, positive team environment. As part of our crew, you’ll:

• Be friendly, reliable, and ready to lead with a smile.
• Help keep the club clean, safe, and welcoming for all.
• Jump in on special events and community activities.
• Return calls/emails promptly and  professionally.
• Be visible, involved, and engaged during lesson hours.
