NOW HIRING! Fitness Alive is looking to add enthusiastic, talented, friendly and experienced swimmers to join our team of swim instructors at our South Philly and Center City locations for our Summer & Fall 2024 Swim Semester.

Fitness professionals and experienced teachers are encouraged to apply as well.
We teach lessons seven days a week at both our locations. Candidates must be available for at least 2 consecutive hours on a given shift for swim lessons and each shift will be no longer than 3 hours.
Fitness Alive is Philadelphia’s premier swim school and personal training company. Brainchild of Philadelphia personal trainer and swim instructor Holly Waters, one of the most sought after infant and child swim instructors in Philadelphia, Fitness Alive teaches kids and adults to be confident and strong in the water and on land. Our unique confidence-based approach focuses on building confidence and fostering a lifelong love of fitness and the water.
