WillRodg Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hello, Thai Visa users in Chiang Mai, I'm wondering how much demand is in the Chiang Mai area for a Swimming Teacher with lesson plans for new to intermediate swimmers? My names William R., I'm 25 and a certified Swimming/Lifeguard instructor in the USA. Red-Cross certified in AED, First-Aid, CPR and Heimlich maneuver. Looking for advice on where to advertise for the most eyes and any other teachers I can contact. Thank you so much. Please E-mail me at ... for any questions. Thanks again Will R. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottiejohn Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Why not try asking hotels with swimming pools although I doubt it will be worth any Organisation's worthwhile to obtain the WP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heybruce Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 You might be able to find legal work at one of the expensive international schools. Unlikely, but doesn't hurt to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely, but doesn't hurt to try. Probably also need a teachers qualification to be employed and teach swimming as a subject, if they even have a swimming pool. Actually, this might not be on the list of work prohibited to farangs as I doubt there is an abundance of Thais wishing to be swimming teachers and would probably come under the same regulations as dive instructors. I know there are farang dive instructors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCor Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) I'd suggest inquiry with local Universities. If you aren't already fluent in spoken Thai you may find your efforts are like swimming against the flow of the Mekong, unless you hoped just to teach private lessons with gaggle of English-speaking beginners.

Dante99 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 In 30 years here I have never once heard of any unsatisfied demand for a swimming instructor. Thai University PE departments produce a lot of them, even some who speak reasonable English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGM Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 PE teachers, including in international schools, are usually Thai. I don't think it has anything to do with legalities but rather with salary levels they're happy to accept. Hotels, condos or gated communities with pools generally don't employ any lifeguards.
