They come to you
Teach at the pool you use: an aquatic centre lane, a school pool, or your own. Your profile shows on that pool's page.
For swim teachers
Teach swimming this summer. Let parents find you.
Help children and adults gain confidence in the water. Run your own swim teaching business, or make it a summer gig. List yourself free, parents search CoachPlus for lessons near them, and your profile shows on the pools where you teach.
List yourself, free
No subscription. You pay only when a lesson is booked and paid.

Two ways to teach
Teach where you already swim, travel to families, or do both.
You go to them
Teach in families' own pools. Set a travel fee, and parents choose "come to me" when they book.
What parents book
The lessons families look for, from a first splash to a confident length. Teach the ones that suit you.
Babies and toddlers
Water play with a parent in the pool, from about six months.
Preschool water confidence
Blowing bubbles, floating and kicking, for ages three to five.
Learn to swim
School-age children learning to breathe, kick and swim their first lengths.
Stroke technique
Freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly for children who can already swim.
Squad and fitness
Regular training for swimmers who want to get faster or fitter.
Adults
Learning from scratch, getting over a fear of water, or tidying up a stroke.
Where parents find you
On the pool's page
Pools, swim clubs and swim schools across New Zealand have their own pages on CoachPlus. Parents looking at a pool see the teachers who use it.
On swimming pages near them
Pages like "Swimming clubs and coaches in Auckland" are built for search. When a parent looks for lessons in their region, that is where they land.
In search
Parents type what they need, for example "swim lessons for my 5 year old in Howick", and go straight to teachers who fit.

Questions swim teachers ask
Do I need my own pool?
No. List the pools where you teach, or set a travel fee and teach in families' pools. You can do both.
Do I need a swim school or a club?
No. You can list yourself as an individual teacher. If you also teach for a club or a swim school, add those pools too.
Can I show my qualifications?
Yes. Add your qualifications and experience to your profile so parents can see them.
Can I bring families I already teach?
Yes. Your own clients book through your link at 2% per booking, with a $2 minimum. The 20% applies only to a new family's first booking through CoachPlus.
Is there a monthly fee?
No. There is no subscription and no setup fee. If nobody books, you pay nothing.
Summer bookings start now
Parents look for swim lessons before the holidays, and most of them just want their child confident in the water by Christmas. Set up your profile and be on the pools near them when they do.
