It's Your Job

Find lifeguard jobs in your area!

• Call your town or local recreation departments.
• Contact a YMCA near you.
• If there are any private health or pool clubs in their area, search them out.
• If you like working with others, go for a local beach or lake.
• There are more lifeguards on duty at larger places at any one time.

If you work for a town or recreation department, you will most likely be paid more than at a private pool or club. Lifeguarding jobs at private pools or clubs are usually easier and have shorter hours however. You know what situation you work best in. Find that and show off your skills, let the manager there know how much you want to help keep people safe.
