State Swim has acquired In2Swim Swimming School in Brookvale, which will transition to a State Swim facility in early 2027. We’re seeking an energetic and driven Operations Manager to lead the school’s daily operations and support our team and customers through this exciting change.

This is an opportunity to combine hands-on leadership with a meaningful purpose: helping people become stronger, safer swimmers.

About the role

As Operations Manager, you’ll oversee the full scope of site operations, including people leadership, rostering, facilities, safety compliance and customer engagement. You’ll develop and motivate your team to deliver high-quality swimming lessons and a welcoming, consistent experience for swimmers and their families.

You’ll initially oversee the current In2Swim learn-to-swim program and operating systems, then help guide the school’s transition to the State Swim program and systems. Throughout this process, you’ll receive training, guidance and support from our established network of sites across Australia.

This is a hands-on leadership role that requires regular in-water teaching shifts delivering the State Swim program, following training and the school’s transition. You will also be required to work one weekend day each week.

Your onboarding and training may include interstate travel to experience the State Swim approach firsthand and learn from our experienced teams.

You may have experience as an Operations Manager, Facility Manager, Site Manager or Store Manager in retail or hospitality. Aquatic industry experience is highly desirable, but we also welcome experienced leaders who are ready to learn and take a hands-on approach.

Our values will guide how you lead each day. You put People First by supporting your team and caring for our swimmers and families. You believe a team is Stronger Together, sharing knowledge and working with colleagues across our network. You Do What’s Right, Not What’s Easy, particularly when it comes to safety and accountability, and strive to be Better Tomorrow Than Today through learning and continuous improvement.
