If you’re looking for a career with a purpose, you’re in the right place.

Water Babies teachers are among the best trained swimming teachers in the world and we’re proud of giving every parent, carer and baby the best experience possible in and out of the water. If you’re ready to learn more, all you need is passion – we’ll provide the rest.

What we’re looking for

From creative thinkers to energised problem solvers, our teachers need to teach happiness and confidence in and around the water and always put children at the heart of what they do.

Quite frankly, our teachers make each day brighter because life is too short for dull. So smiles and laughter are necessary, but previous experience isn’t.

Our in-depth training will ensure you have everything you need to thrive.

I smile from ear to ear!

“When I’m in the water, I smile from ear to ear continuously while teaching. It’s so rewarding being the first teacher to those teeny, tiny babies and seeing them become toddlers who can swim independently at just four years old. Teaching these super little humans is invaluable.



But knowing that the skill they have learnt could save lives is the ultimate reward, and I’m so proud to be teaching something so extraordinary.”

– Amie Sellick, Water Babies Teacher and Franchisee

100% Worth it

“For 2 years I happily worked as a nurse during the week and taught Water Babies classes at weekends. The moment I see a child swim independently on the surface of the water is the most rewarding part of the job. No matter how many children I see do this, it never gets old and the feeling of pride is immense.”

– Becca Succamore, Water Babies Teacher and Franchisee

Beau is our first ever water baby to become a Water Babies teacher.

Say hello to Beau!
