Mission-Driven Team Member - Swim Instructor/Operations - 5 Openings

Childhood Drowning Prevention Foundation / Big Kahuna Swim Academy | Norco & Riverside, CA | Part-Time

Why This Job Exists

In 2005, our Founder lost a classmate named Arturo — he drowned one week before graduating high school. That loss became the mission. The Childhood Drowning Prevention Foundation exists to ensure that it never happens to another family.

We deliver 800+ private swim lessons a month across two locations, teaching children the water safety skills that save their lives. Drowning is the #1 cause of death for children under 5. We're doing something about it — and we're building the team to do more.

The people who thrive here are

• Reliable — early is on time.
• You follow through without being chased.
• Coachable — you take feedback and implement it, without defensiveness.
• Emotionally mature — you assume good intent, stay out of drama, and regulate yourself.
• Full of initiative — you notice what needs doing and do it without being asked.
• Mission-driven — you care about the why, not just the shift.
• What You Should Know Upfront

We're a small nonprofit, and we're honest about that. Here's what we offer

Work that directly saves children's lives A values-driven team that holds a high standard Real growth opportunity as the Foundation expands What we need from you: flexibility. Hours, roles, and locations shift with the season and the need. If you require a fixed schedule or a single defined role, this likely isn't the right fit. If you thrive when things aren't perfectly predictable, you'll do well here.
