Teach Swimming Lessons This Summer and Earn Money

Summer is fast-approaching and there will be many children who need to learn how to swim. Perhaps in your college years you were a licensed life guard. You should update your license/certificate, if needed.

You may want to check your local Park and Recreation to see if you could offer swimming lessons in your town or city. You can also check surrounding towns and/or cities with lakes or pools that are convenient for you to drive to.

Once you get permission from the village board, you can start up to teach swimming lessons this summer and earn money. Or maybe you know a lot of people in your town and you can do small groups of children swimming lessons. (Who knows, maybe teens or adults may want to learn how to swim or swim better and you can teach them, too.)

Once you get enough people that are interested in learning how to swim, if you have different age groups and different areas of swimming expertise, you can form your groups. You may want to offer a “Mommy & Me” swimming lesson class for babies and toddlers to get used to the water and still feel safe with their mother with them. Move up to “Tadpoles” where the children can have their own swimming lesson and so forth.

You may want to have swimming lessons at 9:00 a.m. for one group and 11:00 a.m. for a second group. You will have to check with the Park and Rec or wherever you teach swimming lessons what times you are able to use the lake and/or swimming pool.

For swimming lesson schedules you may want to offer your classes every morning Monday through Friday for two weeks and charge a flat rate. The following two weeks each group can move up to a higher level to keep learning for another two weeks. At the end of the session, make sure you have computer certificates with each person’s name on, the swimming group name and that the person graduated, and finally, your signature as the swimming instructor. This will give the person a feeling of accomplishment and it is a nice touch.
