Instructor Testimonials
"Infant Aquatics affords me independence, freedom and complete control of my own swim school with no recertification requirements and ongoing financial obligations. I am certainly proud and pleased to be a member of Infant Aquatics. For anyone looking to build a rewarding career working with parents and children, I cannot imagine not taking advantage of this extraordinary opportunity."Alba McGowan — Sandy, Utah
"I'm thankful that I found Infant Aquatics and was able to go through their instructor training. The experience was incredible, consisting of 200+ hours of hands-on training with over 20 children daily. The training left me confident to start teaching my own students immediately, and each day in the water leaves me with a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction."Steffi Saul-Ketzler — Central Coast of California
"Choosing this as my life long career was the best decision I ever made — it is the most challenging and rewarding thing I could have imagined. I am grateful for the opportunity to lean on my fellow Infant Aquatics instructors if I ever need help or have questions."Jessica Box — Temecula, California
"Becoming an Infant Aquatics instructor was the best decision I ever made. The training fee was a bargain and the rewards, both personally and financially, have been substantial. They provided me with the in-water skills and marketing savvy to turn my summer business into a year-round swim school with an indoor facility in less than 4 years."Margie Hoopes — Valdosta, Georgia
"Training with Infant Aquatics was the best decision I have made! Their experience teaching the curriculum is unquestionable — the training was sensitive to the emotional roller coaster of training away from family, yet knew when to push me to work hard. No questions remained unanswered and I quickly felt the continued support in technique, business, and marketing."Alina Turk — Horst, Germany
"I have gone into my first session with confidence and I feel so happy doing it! My ability to reassess a student continuously and decide how to make adjustments has surprised me in a great way. I didn't realize how much information I had absorbed until it was just me doing the assessing. It has been an incredibly rewarding experience to watch myself assess and adjust a skill and then see it stick with the student. I get up each morning excited to get in the pool and teach. What a blessing it has been to find the job that is meant for me. Thank you so much! I love love love being a part of the Infant Aquatics team!"Jessica Howlett — Virginia
Backyards and Beyond
One of the biggest questions future instructors ask is, "But where will I teach?" The answer looks different for every instructor.
Many Infant Aquatics instructors begin in backyard pools and continue teaching there because they love the flexibility, simplicity, and connection it offers. Others grow into swim schools, partner with aquatic centers, or build programs they never could have imagined when they first started.
Whether you're a parent looking for meaningful work that fits around your family, or you're ready to build a business with more freedom and purpose, this path can grow with you!
