All lifeguards are expected to provide a range of lifeguard services, including but not limited to:

  • Keeping people safe and spotting potential hazards.
  • Patrolling the pool(s) in accordance with the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the site.
  • Undertaking regular checks of water temperature and water quality.
  • Maintaining outstanding presentation of our facilities; and
  • Providing great customer service to our pool users.

  • You will be physically fit and must be a competent swimmer. You will enjoy being poolside and helping our customers to have a great pool experience.
  • You will have a current Pool Lifeguard Practicing Certificate and a current First Aid Certificate.
