Lifeguard Job Description

Lifeguarding is the BEST SUMMER JOB! Lifeguarding is the ideal job for a healthy lifestyle! You get to stay fit, be out in the fresh air all day instead of being inside, plus, you get a free tan! You have the opportunity of making new friends and meeting other Lifeguards. While it is fun, Lifeguarding must be taken very seriously, because someone's life might depend on YOU!

A Lifeguard's primary responsibility is to ensure the safety of patrons at an assigned aquatic facility by preventing and responding to emergencies. Lifeguards are responsible for enforcing all pool rules fairly and consistently. Lifeguards are also responsible for reporting any unsafe conditions or faulty equipment to their Supervisor. Lifeguards ensure proper pool water chemicals, record keeping and maintaining a clean and enjoyable aquatics facility.
