According to an analysis carried out by the Guardian (British Newspaper), engineers have the happiest job in the world, closely followed by teachers and nurses. Interestingly, they discovered there was no link between a high salary and happiness.
So what teaching makes people happy?
Apparently, “watching children make leaps in learning,” is among one of the most pleasant parts of being a teacher including a swimming teacher. So, see progression in learning a skill specially a life skill like swimming makes teaching swimming a happy job.
Helping a child or an adult through a swimming journey is an exceptional experience. We know the reasons why swimming can make children happy.
Going from not knowing an important life skill like swimming to a stage that one could be so good at it, is a wonderful experience. Being a confident and competent swimmer does wonders for one’s sense of self-worth and self-esteem, regardless of age.
And, if you are ina position to help people to feel happy and good about themselves is a wonderful privilege.
We are an award winning Swim School and Blue Wave Swim is always on the lookout for recruiting good swim teachers.
What we an offer is a good option if people are looking for a part-time position and live in Greater London. Since we are based in Wimbledon, you need to be happy to commute from different locations to southwest London.
Our teaching positions could be ideal for swim teachers who are students who wish to have limited hours of teaching added to their timetable so whilst earning money, it is not too distracting for them.
Sometimes we have swim teachers who work at different professions and because they teach swimming, they would like to do it as a part-time occupation.
Being a part-time swimming teacher works specially for those who are already working in education; PE teachers, Nursery teachers, and Teaching Assistants.
Willingness to work at the weekends during school term-time and/or over school holidays is must, if you wish to work for our swim school.

Easter 2021 Crash Course
Various lockdowns have held back my daughter’s swimming development so we opted for a crash 4 day course over Easter and she has come away from it much more confident and with a recognisable stroke as opposed to doggy paddle!

Although I have only attended two lessons, Marjan’s bubbly personality makes you feel instantly at ease. During the lessons, the pool was not very busy which is a good thing (as opposed to public pools) for those who are anxious.
I would strongly recommend to adults who have experienced trauma with water at a certain time in their lives.

My son has been going to swimming lessons at Blue Wave in Wimbledon for a few years now and thoroughly enjoys it. The teaching is great and the lessons well run. Helps to prepare him for when we finally get to go on holiday again!

Highly Recommended
My son went to improve his swimming technique and found his instructor very helpful, very kind and patient. The school itself is very welcoming and feels safe for all the children who go there. I would highly recommend it.

Excellent results
My son is 4 years-old and we were looking for weekend swimming classes in a nice environment that could bring good results. After some research we chose Blue Wave Swim. Our son has been having private lessons since the end of 2018 and he is progressing very well. We believe the professionalism of the team, the clean and tidy infrastructure, and the good care of the management are contributing for his development and confidence in the water. Thank you very much Blue Wave Swim!

I have been impressed with my daughters’ progress and the fact that they love attending their classes and learning a vital life skill. Thank you very much. Great job!

Superb Swimming School in Wimbledon
My daughter, who is now 7 years old, started with blue wave two years back and we have been very happy with her progress at the school. Initially we started with group lessons but once she got comfortable in water we moved her to semi private lessons, which made a lot of difference in her ability to learn swimming. As part of the smaller group she is better bonded with other children in the group and gets more attention from the swimming instructor, which is helping her advance her swimming skills. During her 2 years with blue wave, swimming instructors for my daughter have changed and while continuity in learning was maintained, I think this could have been managed better. Needless to say, she still goes and enjoys her time here and looks forward to her class every week. Overall we are very pleased with Blue Wave and would recommend them without any hesitation.

Highly recommend this swimming school. My daughter has been attending since she was 1 years old and she loves it. The teachers are very good with children and my daughter, who is now 4 years old is very confident in the water.
