Lifeguard (EARLY AM)

Overview

Lifeguards are responsible for protecting people from drowning, which is a role that requires one to be alert, vigilant, and trained to react in situations where someone may need help in the water. This role is all about prevention, so we hold our Lifeguards to high standards. If you're looking to oversee the pools and help protect those in them, we're ready to meet with you.
