Reasons To Be A Lifeguard

Pick a reason below or find your own! There are more reasons to be a lifeguard than we can fit on this page, but whatever yours is, we look forward to helping you reach your goals.

Valuable Experience

Great Job Security

Stay Fit All Year

Learn real-life skills like CPR and build your resume with a job that builds leadership, communication skills, and people management.

Lifeguards are always in demand, now more than ever with room to grow. Pools are constantly hiring and even paying for recertifications.

Lifeguarding requires you to be in good physical shape. Some places allow you to use their gyms, pool, and other facilities.

Flexible Hours

People Look Up To You

It's Very Rewarding

Many lifeguard positions are part-time and work around your schedule for extra income. Do meaningful work while having time for school and a social life.

People will see you as a role model and will look up at you sitting in your chair with the best view of the pool.

It’s a lifeguard's duty to keep everyone in the pool area safe. This big responsibility is a great feeling. You also make friends for life.
