Lifeguards Wanted!
Looking for a job that's fun in the sun, and made in the shade? Join our lifeguarding crew at the Emery City Pool, a neighborhood swimming pool focused on families.
Lifeguard Job Responsibilities:
- Supervise swimming activities and ensure that policies, guidelines, and safety procedures are followed.
- Warn swimmers of improper activities or danger and enforces pool regulations and water safety policies.
- Administer first aid in the event of injury, rescue swimmers in distress or danger of drowning, and administers CPR and/or artificial respiration, if necessary.
- Evaluate conditions for safety and initiate emergency action plan as required.
- Monitor pool facilities, equipment, and water to ensure that they are safe and usable.
- Assist in cleaning the pool and related facilities and equipment, assist with chlorine residual water tests, including keeping records of water tests and making other reports.
- Sell concession items to patrons.
Work Hours & Benefits:
Work includes 4 hour shifts, alternating between lifeguarding on the chair and working in the concession stand. Pay starts at $11/hour with a raise each consecutive year worked for the city. The Emery City Pool will reimburse half the cost of training after the first summer and will reimburse the other half after the second summer. Lifeguards are paid their hourly wage for training hours (this is subject to completion of the course). If your family does not have a pool membership, you will receive an individual membership for yourself to use pool facilities when not on duty. This is a great resume builder for college or your career!
Hours are available afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Pool is open 1-8 seven days a week!
