Do you think saving lives is a great way to get a tan? As a Lifeguard, you’ll be in charge of keeping the water safe while looking cooler than a polar bear in a snowstorm. Your superhuman focus and lightning-fast reflexes will make sure that no cannonball goes unchallenged, and no pool noodle goes unprotected.

• Water Hawk: You’ll stand watch over the pool like a hawk with sunglasses. Your eyes will be trained to spot suspicious/dangerous activities, such as diving contests, impromptu pool races, or someone making a splash by pretending they didn’t just trip on the edge.
• Rescue Champion: At any moment, you could be called to action, whether it’s saving a swimmer in distress or ensuring no one steals the last pool noodle. You’re basically Aquaman without the trident.
• Whistle Warrior: You’ll develop the power to clear a crowd with a single sound. Use your whistle wisely—it’s a tool of power and judgment. Too much whistle, and you’ll be known as the “Whistle Dictator.” Too little, and we’ll have pool chaos. It’s all about balance.
• Floatie Inspector: Your job isn’t just about people—it’s about objects too. You’ll patrol the inflatable jungle, making sure all floaties are in their proper place.
• The Shh, No Running Expert: You’ll be the unofficial voice of calm, reminding everyone that running poolside is a definite safety hazard, even if they’re late to the snack bar.
• Shark Watcher: Despite no actual sharks in the pool, you’ll develop a keen eye for spotting dangerous pool toys, sneaky floaties, and suspicious-looking pool noodles. No one escapes your watchful eye!
• Chill in the Sun: You’ll have some downtime to catch some rays, but don't get too comfortable—your secret mission is to maintain a mysterious air of authority.
• Sunscreen Savvy: You’ll become a sunscreen aficionado—applying SPF like a true professional.
• Poolside Police: Ensure the poolside peace by keeping everyone in line and making sure the rules stay afloat.
• Chlorine Guardian: Safety first, chemicals second – PPE required when working with chemicals!
• Snack Critic: When you’re not saving lives, offer expert reviews on poolside snacks. Yes, the chips are good, but have you tried the pretzels? (This is an important part of the job).
• Additional Tasks: And any other awesome tasks that come your way!

• Must be at least 15 years young and ready to take on the world (or at least the pool).
• Gotta be a certified lifesaver, no excuses – CPR/AED/First Aid. (Can also be received as on the job training.)
• Must possess the ability to identify colors with the precision of a rainbow detective for chemical testing purposes.
• Must possess a calm, unshakable demeanor when dealing with poolside dilemmas.
• Previous experience with being in the water, looking super cool, and pulling off the perfect lifeguard whistle is a plus.
• Must have the ability to stay as cool as a cucumber in an ice bath, even when the waves get a little rough.
• Must have the charm and grace of a poolside concierge, making every swimmer feel like a VIP.
• Must be as strong and agile as a dolphin—ready to dive into action whenever needed.
• Exposure to the full range of aquatic adventures (yes, that includes bodily fluids and potential communicable diseases).
• Patience when it comes to battling Mother Nature's mood swings.

• Tanning opportunities (supervised, of course).
• A chance to perfect your lifeguard strut.
• Lifeguard team bonding activities, like synchronized whistle blowing and extreme pool noodle jousting.
• Free access to pool parties, water slides, and occasional impromptu dance-offs with kids (if you’re feeling adventurous).
