Imagine Swimming is looking for Swim Instructors to join our team!

Our instructors are regarded as the finest swim teachers in the city, and a large part of the Imagine culture centers around the freedom we offer every teacher to instruct his / her way, with 'Safe Fun' being our guiding philosophy.

Our staff is extremely diverse, with a wide array of aquatic backgrounds. An elite competitive pedigree is by no means essential, however, an enduring love for the water is.

Imagine Swimming is currently seeking Swim Instructors who can teach swim lessons at our Upper West Side, Tribeca and Brooklyn Pools. You must be 18 years of age or older; previous aquatic teaching experience of 2-3 years is required, you must have at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and a competitive swimming background is a plus. Most importantly, we are seeking educators who emphasize individuality in the belief that it's the Singer, not the Song, and the presentation of the lesson is everything.

Imagine Swimming is NYC's premier learn-to-swim school, sharing a love of the water from infants to adults. Imagine was founded in 2002 by Casey Barrett, a Canadian Olympian and All-American, and Lars Merseburg, a member of the German National Swim Team who met in New York City after completing their NCAA and international swimming careers.

The Imagine family is diverse and international. What unites us is our love for swimming. While backgrounds will always vary, everyone on staff shares the same language of the water. Our creative, child-led environment is guided by the needs of the students in each class, with an emphasis on learning through having fun in the water. Imagine Swimming features highly developed teaching methods and rigorous training, however, it is the teachers, in the moment, who must pass on our mantra - safe, fun, for life.
