Sun’s up, shades on, keep safe and lifeguard on, San Marcos.
San Marcos Aquatics is looking for seasonal lifeguards to watch over city pools and aquatic facilities for summer 2016.
“San Marcos lifeguarding offers a chance to become part of an exciting team that helps people safely enjoy the water and have some summertime fun,” Aquatics Manager Cheryl Salazar said. “With a guaranteed schedule of ten to 20 hours per week and pay starting at $11.05 an hour, applications are due by April 15.”
Salazar added: “With so many great summer camps, swim lessons and special events planned, it is important to make sure we have qualified and trained staff on deck now.”
Benefits of lifeguarding include becoming a community leader, making a difference, saving lives and meeting new friends in a fun, poolside work environment, according to Salazar.
As trained first responders, San Marcos lifeguards also can participate in the San Marcos Fire Department mentorship program and earn first-round interview opportunities for qualified EMT candidates creating unique career development opportunities.
