2023 Swimming Pool Season Employment

It is that time of year when we begin to plan for the summer pool season!   During the season (May to September), we hire pool managers, lifeguards and cashiers.  All are welcome to apply.  Lifeguards holding a lifeguard certificate will have priority in hiring, but we do also assist non-certified, interested individuals with getting into a certification class.    Positions range from part-time to full-time summer positions.  The pool is open all 7 days of the week, weather dependent, and hours will range from 9 AM to 10 PM.  Employees must be 16 years of age, or 15 with a valid work permit.

At this time, we have an abundance of cashier and manager applications, and are not seeking further applicants.  Lifeguard applications continue to be accepted.
