Lifeguards are responsible for providing a safe and enjoyable environment for all members and guests by maintaining constant surveillance of the pool, enforcing club rules, responding appropriately to emergencies, and completing assigned facility duties.

• Maintain current lifeguard, CPR/AED, and First Aid certifications.
• Arrive on time and prepared for every scheduled shift.
• Wear the required uniform and maintain a professional appearance.

• Be available to work morning, daytime, or evening shifts during this period, based on scheduling needs.
• Be available to work Labor Day (Monday, September 7).
