We saw a need for a structured, supportive pathway for those interested in teaching swimming. Many new instructors begin with strong swimming skills but little to no formal teaching experience.
The Premier Swim Instructor Development Program bridges that gap giving aspiring instructors the tools, mentorship, and experience they need to succeed. Our goal is to develop instructors who are not only technically skilled but also patient, professional, and passionate about helping others learn.
Our development program is designed to support every level of experience. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your teaching style, the program offers step-by-step guidance to help you reach your full potential.
Through hands-on instruction, classroom learning, and real-world practice, participants gain a range of valuable skills. They develop effective teaching and communication abilities, learn how to plan lessons and manage classes, and acquire knowledge in water safety and emergency preparedness. Additionally, they master techniques for working with all age groups and skill levels, and learn how to motivate and engage students in every lesson.
All training is led by experienced Premier Aquatics managers and senior instructors who bring years of teaching and coaching experience to the table.
Participants receive one-on-one mentorship, feedback, and support throughout the process; ensuring that each instructor not only learns the “how” but also the “why” behind great swim instruction.
We believe the best way to learn is by doing. That’s why our Swim Instructor Development Program includes opportunities for shadow teaching, hands-on lessons, and guided practice with real students.
Becoming a Premier swim instructor is the first step toward a rewarding career in aquatics. Many of our instructors go on to become lead instructors, supervisors, and aquatics managers within our company.
Through ongoing education and leadership training, we help our staff grow into strong, capable leaders; both in and out of the water.
What makes Premier’s program unique is our commitment to excellence and community. We don’t just teach swimming; we teach life skills, responsibility, and teamwork. Our instructors are role models, educators, and mentors who shape a culture of safety and confidence around the water.
When you join Premier Aquatics, you’re not just getting a job; you’re joining a family of professionals who care deeply about what they do and the people they serve.
If you’re passionate about swimming, enjoy working with people, and want to make a difference, the Premier Swim Instructor Development Program is your perfect starting point.
