**About

At Academy Swim Club, we offer year-round swim lessons, which means you can work for us throughout the year!

As a family owned business we want you to be there for your family when you need to be so we are open to trading shifts and are very flexible with scheduling.

Because of our reputation having been in this industry for over 35+ years therefore being very well known in the SCV, we must uphold the highest standards for customer service. But, although we are very adamant on excellent customer service, we protect our employees against absurd Patrons as well. Better yet put – we got your back!
