FULL TIME SWIMMING TEACHER
We believe passionately in bringing people - of all generations - together, through the wonders of being in the water. The water is all we need to create community.
In The Deep teaches kids to become confident, relaxed swimmers so that they too can participate in and grow up to love, respect and feel at ease in the water.
ABOUT THE COMPANY - Our vision
We want to pass down our nation's favourite past-time and see families and communities share in the joy of swimming with the next generation.
The water is all we need to feel connected to ourselves and one another, to experience togetherness in an increasingly lonely society, to slow down and spend time in a wonderfully magical place.
THE ROLE - What we do
In The Deep empowers kids to flourish in the water, by teaching them how to swim.
With our world-class program and structured, thorough approach to teaching, we break down a complex skill into an easier-to-grasp, personal experience.
With lots of fun and courage- building along the way, we reveal the wonders of being in the water, gently guiding kids to become relaxed, stress-free swimmers.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- As an In The Deep swim teacher you're a shining light to all the kids in the school!
- You bring a smile to their faces when they come into the pool and see you.
- They know that they can trust you, even though sometimes you push them to do things that are difficult, they feel safe and know that you care and that when they give it a go they will do things they never thought they could.
- You love the water and you love being physically active.
- Actually coming home after a shift feeling exhausted makes for a great day at work. You're not one to sit behind a desk or stand stationary for long periods.
- The rewards of teaching children a skill that you love to do — swimming — makes your heart glad.
- You remember your swimming lessons and they were a huge part of your childhood.
- Now to create these moments and memories for other children is so rewarding and a wonderful opportunity.
- You're ready for the good times and the bad. You know that kids can be emotional but when you help them achieve something it is the BEST feeling!
- You love being part of a team, to learn, to gain knowledge and to be part of a fun bunch of people, passionate about what they do.
- Every opportunity to get better is jumped at, you don't hold back but embrace what In The Deep has to offer. Being mediocre is boring. You have a growth mindset, wanting to be the best you can be.
