Love Swimming? Teach Students How To Swim Correctly.

Semi-private 2:1 lessons, taught skill by skill. Training provided.

Imagine helping two swimmers make steady progress every lesson instead of managing group lessons. With WETS, you’ll have time to give each student personalized attention and focus on correct technique. You’ll help students master the foundation skills and strokes they need to swim with confidence and enjoy any aquatic activity.

Since 1996, WETS has taught more than 25,000 swimmers. Now we're growing, and we’re looking for passionate Swim Instructors to teach the WETS Program for ages 3 and up, including teens and adults.

We have openings in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Penticton, and Vernon. Standard First Aid & CPR-C or preferably a current Bronze Cross certification is required. Previous instructor training or teaching experience is a bonus, but not required.
