About the Employer

Mini Swimming is a family-run swim school providing high-quality swimming lessons for babies and children. We are passionate about teaching this essential life skill in a safe, fun, and supportive environment. We invest in our team through training and development, creating confident, enthusiastic teachers who inspire swimmers to achieve their full potential.

What You'll Do

As an apprentice at Mini Swimming, no two days are the same! You'll work alongside experienced teachers, gradually developing the skills and confidence to plan and deliver engaging swimming lessons for babies, children, and adults of all abilities.

A typical day may include setting up equipment, preparing lesson plans, teaching and assisting in lessons, monitoring swimmers' progress, providing individual feedback, and encouraging confidence, water safety, and a lifelong love of swimming.
You'll learn how to adapt lessons to suit different ages and abilities while managing classes in a safe, positive, and inclusive environment.
You'll build strong relationships with swimmers and their families, provide excellent customer service, and support promotional events, school partnerships, holiday programmes, and community initiatives to encourage participation in swimming.
You'll also gain experience using digital systems to complete registers, maintain swimmer records, and carry out general administrative duties, whilst following GDPR requirements.
Throughout your apprenticeship, you'll develop a strong understanding of safeguarding, health and safety, pool operating procedures, and emergency action plans, ensuring the wellbeing of everyone in and around the pool.
You'll attend apprenticeship workshops, complete coursework, receive regular mentoring, and continually develop your teaching skills through feedback and reflection. As your confidence grows, you'll become a positive role model for swimmers, represent Mini Swimming professionally, work collaboratively with colleagues, and develop the communication and problem-solving skills needed to respond confidently to the challenges of a busy swim school.
