Job Description
Working as a Lifeguard and Swim Instructor, you will provide swim instruction and lifeguarding to boys and girls, aged from 4 to 15. This is as rewarding and interactive as a lifeguard/swim instructor position can be! You will be part of a large team of waterfront staff and receive ongoing training and feedback. Our Lifeguard and Swim Instructors will be assisted by Counselors during Instructional and Free swim periods and be supported by an experienced Head Lifeguard and Waterfront Director at all times. In addition to swim instruction training, a free Lifeguard certification course is available to successful applicants if they are not already certified or need to re-certify. This is a benefit worth up to $500 and is something that is transferable to other jobs in the future! The upkeep and basic maintenance of the lakefront beach area and docks is also part of the job.
