Lifeguards needed for summer season
Thursday, March 12, 2020 by Tai Moses
Sure, it’s barely spring, but the Aquatic Division of Parks and Recreation is thinking ahead to summer. In order to fully staff Austin’s dozens of community and neighborhood swimming pools and splash pads, the division needs 518 more lifeguards (there’s supposed to be 750 in place by May). The Aquatic Division will be hosting training classes over spring break and those who qualify may receive training scholarships. Lifeguards make $15/hour, get free bus passes, enjoy flexible schedules and get to work outdoors. No prior experience necessary. Apply in person at the Aquatic Division office, 2818 San Gabriel St., from 8 a.m.-6 p.m., or online. Find more information on PARD Aquatic jobs here.
