Hourly rates for swim teachers usually range from $28 to $35Swim teacher Karen Barton says her job is like running a classroom in the water.The first thing I do on arrival is lots of checks. I check the pool is clean and safe, then check all equipment is clean, safe and ready poolside.
Even back then, swim teachers were in demand: I had a caesarean and couldn’t start teaching until six weeks after my daughter was born, they were desperate for me to start. There are shortages of swim teachers right across Australia, so I’ve been teaching ever since. You’re basically running a classroom in the water. It’s so rewarding, you feel like you’re making a difference and giving kids skills that could save their lives.When I started swim teaching I arranged my schedule around family. Now my kids are grown up I teach 18 classes a week. I’ve made it to the finals of the Austswim teacher of the year twice, and I mentor our younger teachers and help them progress.Sometimes I run into past students who are now adults.
