Why Join DB Leisure?

At DB Leisure, you'll be part of a friendly and supportive Aquatics Team committed to helping people of all ages develop confidence and skills in the water. We invest in our staff through ongoing training and Continuing Professional Development, providing opportunities to develop your career while making a positive impact on the local community.

Please note that working days, times and lesson timetables are subject to change at the beginning of each school term to meet the operational demands of the School Swimming Programme and the wider Learn to Swim programme.
