Swim Instructor - Imagine Swimming : Job Details

Who We Are

Imagine Swimming is NYC's premier learn-to-swim school, sharing a love of the water from infants to adults. Imagine was founded in 2002 by Casey Barrett, a Canadian Olympian and All-American, and Lars Merseburg, a member of the German National Swim Team who met in New York City after completing their NCAA and international swimming careers.

The Imagine family is diverse and international. What unites us is our love for swimming. While backgrounds will always vary, everyone on staff shares the same language of the water. Our creative, child-led environment is guided by the needs of the students in each class, with an emphasis on learning through having fun in the water. Imagine Swimming features highly developed teaching methods and rigorous training, however, it is the teachers, in the moment, who must pass on our mantra - safe, fun, for life.

• Excellent pay starting at $24/hour for weekday shifts and $26/hour for weekend shifts
