PT / Swim Coach – FULL TIME

Every body deserves to train like an athlete. We are for everybody and every type of body.

We are getting swimmers out of the water to get strong and fast on land, and we are training them IN the water with a fresh understanding of speed and endurance.

Where do you fit into this?

You may be a PT who has a swimming background, you may be a swim coach who has always wanted to work in a program with a strong land based focus, or you may also be an experienced swim teacher who has their sights set on getting out of the water and coaching. 

You will deeply believes that every swimmer deserves your best efforts – you would be equally invested in a swimmer who wants to go to the Olympics and a swimmer who wants to swim 100m without stopping. 

You are the type of person who genuinely loves working with teenagers and helping them understand their fitness and strengths and can strike that balance between giving them the friendship they crave and the discipline they need.

Your work colleagues include:

Head Coach

Head of Physiotherapy

Consultant Dietician

Personal Trainers

Swim Coaches and Teachers

Many of our swimmers are emerging. They love swimming, probably identify as swimmers rather than athletes and haven’t necessarily had experience in land based training.

We have two very different programs for school aged squads – a competitive squad for teams who are competing in the sport, and a social squad for those who just love to be here, and love swimming.

To be successful here, you’ll understand the difference in how a coach communicates with competitive athletes and social swimmers.

• School aged swim squads – Competitive and Social Squads
• Adult squads, including triathlete groups
• Learn to swim groups.

I deeply believe that swim coaches have a unique opportunity to work with emerging young swimmers to teach so much more than swimming. We work with our young swimmers in goal setting, mindset, race day thought patterns so they begin to identify as athletes.

We have access to:

25m Salt Water pool – Samford

Poolside S&C gym – Samford

Fully Equipped S&C gym – Arana Hills

All training and accreditation for swim coaching provided.

Reporting and working closely with our Head Coach, Tanya, and being guided by our Head of Physiotherapy in land based activities

We want to hear from you if you’re a PT who is keen to coach swimming, a swim coach enthused about dry land training, or if you are an experienced swim teacher looking for a career change.
