According to 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 does make a job teaching a happy one?
Apparently, “watching children make leaps in learning,” is amongst one of the most pleasant part of being a swimming teacher. This is what 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, so they can do it confidently and competently, does wonder for one’s sense of self-worth and self-esteem, regardless of age.
Being able to help people to feel happy and good about themselves is a wonderful privilege.
Blue Wave Swim is recruiting swim teachers to start in January 2024.
It is a part-time position and suitable for those who live in Greater London and happy to commute to different locations all in southwest London (Wandsworth & Merton).
It could be an ideal position for swim teachers (specially students) who wish to have a limited hours of teaching and coaching swimming added to their timetable.
Other who work at other professions and enjoy and can teach swimming as a part-time occupation are encouraged to apply.
We would love to hear specially from those who are already working in the education; PE teachers, Nursery teachers, Teaching Assistants.

A good swim school with professional staff
My girls have been going to Blue Wave Swim School for over 2 years, they have been looking forward to each lesson and keep practicing the swimming tricks even in a bath. All teachers and an owner of the school has been friendly, very professional. They found unique approach and made kids happy, but most importantly show them how to swim and have fun. Thank you very much from our family to Blue Wave 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.
