Lifeguards

We are hiring part-time lifeguards to join our community pool team for the 2025 summer season!

Responsibilities

• Keep a sharp eye on swimmers of all ages (even the ones who insist they’re mermaids)
• Perform epic (but professional) rescues, if needed – yes, even in 3-feet of water!
• Enforce pool rules with a balance of authority and fun (no running, no roughhousing, no chicken fights – unless it’s an actual chicken)
• Assist little swimmers who may have overestimated their bravery
• Maintain a chill, but alert presence – cool shades encouraged
• Ensure everyone has a safe, fun, and sun-soaked day!

Perks

• Work on your tan (while staying hydrated, of course)
• Be part of a fun, energetic team
• Get paid to keep people safe and happy
• Possibly become a local legend of the shallow end
• Pay $17 to $20 per hour
