British Swim School

For 40 years, British Swim School has been dedicated to teaching water survival skills to children as young as three months old. Founder CEO Rita Goldberg launched British Swim School from her home in Manchester, England in 1981 and developed the unique and highly effective teaching methods that are a recognized trademark of the brand today. In April 2019, multi-brand franchising organization, Buzz Franchise Brands, acquired British Swim School but our mission has never changed. Following the mantra, ‘Survival of the Littlest,’ we are dedicated to teaching water survival skills to individuals of every age and ability.

British Swim Schools offer swimming lessons for babies, children, and adults. Dubbed as one of the fastest-growing franchises in the U.S., we teach thousands of swimming lessons per week!

British Swim School is headquartered in Virginia Beach, VA and currently operates over 220 schools in 29 U.S. states and Canadian provinces. There are tremendous franchise opportunities available throughout North America!

Working at British Swim School is so much more than just a job - it’s an opportunity to leave a legacy that may transform a child’s life. As part of the British Swim School Team, you play a role in your local community, empowering others and sharing your passion. It’s a chance to be part of a fun-loving team of dedicated people who are committed to promoting water safety and a lifelong love of the water.

Although we teach swimming to all ages and abilities, the majority of our students are preschool and elementary-aged children. Experience of working with children or in a child-oriented business is preferred, although not necessary if you can demonstrate the desired attitude. The position includes specialist training in our highly-developed and proprietary British Swim School methodology.

We also have great opportunities with our “dry” Customer Service Team. These are the people who are dedicated to delivering the best service in the industry. In these roles, you could be talking to our parents on the phone or on the pool deck. Wherever you are, the goal is to make everyone feel welcome in the British Swim School Family as we work to ensure the “Survival of the Littlest.”

Whether you’re part of our Instructor Team or working in one of our "dry" roles, it's important that: 

- You love being with kids
- You are dynamic and ambitious
- You are flexible with work hours
- You have reliable transportation
- You can show you are a dedicated team player
- You are excited to introduce safety, fun, and a love of water to our students!

If you think you’ve got what it takes to become a British Swim School team member, we'd love for you to join our team!
