City of Phoenix in need of summer lifeguards

The Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department is looking to hire summer lifeguards ahead of the 2022 pool season. Currently, Phoenix needs to hire more than 400 lifeguards to safely open the city’s 29 public pools for this summer.

“If we cannot hire the number of Lifeguards we need, we cannot open all 29 pools and that means less people will have access to a pool where they can cool off and less children will learn to swim,” said Aquatics Director Becky Hulett. “Being a lifeguard is the best summer job. You’re taught valuable life skills and meet friends that will last a lifetime.”

Benefits of being a lifeguard include $14.02 an hour, learning lifesaving skills, working in your neighborhood and flexible summer shifts, which can be ideal for students.

StarGuard Training for lifeguard certification is required to become a lifeguard with the City of Phoenix. Those interested in becoming a lifeguard should register as soon as possible.  Certification classes ($20) began in February and are available through March 28. Applicants must be at least 15-years-old.
