Job Description
Lifeguards must constantly monitor guests in pools and surrounding area and ensure that guests follow the pool rules. Lifeguards will be next to or in chlorinated water and will be in direct sunlight for long periods of time. Participants will be standing, sitting, and walking for long periods of time.
Lifeguards must ensure a safe and healthy environment for the swimmers. Lifeguards must be able to recognize and react properly in emergency situations. Lifeguards must also check and maintain specific chemical levels in the pool and operate the pool filtration system. Lifeguards will be handling chemicals. Additional required duties include, but are not limited to, cleaning the pool, surrounding area- deck, guard office, pump room, and restrooms. Job duties also include removing trash, enforcing facility rules, and gate control.
If lifeguards work 6.5 hours or more at a multi-guard facility, they are required by law to take a 30 minute break, which is unpaid.
The hiring wage for ALL lifeguards is $13. A very small number of participants may have the opportunity to work in Washington DC, but this should NOT be expected. The wage in Washington DC is $15.50/hour, but the vast majority of participants will not work in DC, so they will not earn this higher wage.
Job Benefits
Participants are eligible for a bonus of up to $400: $150 for employees who work on or before May 28th and $250 for employees who work the entire Labor Day weekend, including September 5th.
