Swim Instructor- Guelph

Join our Swimming Instructor Team!

Our story began in the summer of 1994 when our founder taught 50 kids to swim in his parents’ backyard pool where Making Waves Swim School was born! It wasn’t a sophisticated business however, it gave us the freedom to focus on what mattered most – our student’s progress in the pool, connecting with families and giving back to our community.

Making Waves Swim School is proud to announce the opening of our 5th Swim School in Guelph! And we’re looking for energetic coaches to help us inspire positive change in children's lives!

We may already be 29 years old, but there’s so much more to do and get involved in to help us make waves in Guelph!

Our Canadian roots also means the more diversity we have in our team, the more unique perspectives and fun ideas we share. It fuels our passion and connects us closer to our families and the communities we serve. We cheer for diversity in age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity, and perspective. And, we’ll do whatever it takes to create an environment where everyone can do their best work and be their best selves.
