About The Position

InstaSwim connects independent swim instructors with families seeking private swim lessons at home and community pools in Albany and nearby towns. Families book through the InstaSwim marketplace, and instructors choose which lesson offers to accept and set their own schedules and travel areas.

Instructors teach one-on-one and small-group lessons at families’ pools, plan lessons around each swimmer’s age, ability, and goals, track progress, and adjust lessons as swimmers improve. They are expected to keep lessons safe and fun and travel to lessons within the distance they choose.
