About The Position
Waterworks Aquatics is a premier swim school teaching children (ages 3 months and up) and adults how to swim.

If you’re energetic, love kids, and want a job that matters, we’re the place for you. We reward our instructors based on performance — the more students on your schedule, the more you’ll earn.
