Lifeguard, Regular - Traveling Team

YMCA OF METROPOLITAN DALLAS
Dallas, TX Full Time
POSTED ON 1/7/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 3/7/2025

Be a leader.  Be a lifeguard! Millions of people of all ages and backgrounds come to the Y for water safety education, to learn to swim, and to meet their health and wellness goals in the pool. Lifeguards are essential to ensuring a safe environment for those millions of individuals.  Lifeguards maintain safe swimming conditions in and around the pool and create a positive atmosphere that promotes member safety and engagement. Their presence allows us to offer life-changing programs in the areas of youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. When we do this effectively, we deliver on our cause as a nonprofit; strengthening community.

 

We are currently hiring for our traveling Safety Around Water Team.  YMCA lifeguard mobile teams travel to different locations around the Dallas area to teach basic water safety and assess a child’s ability to swim. We also partner with schools and other non-profits to provide free swim lessons to children who might otherwise not have access to life-saving water safety skills. 

 

Safety in and around water is essential for all of our children, but a disproportionate number of minority children drown each year. At the Y, we believe that safe swimming saves lives and that all children should be equipped with the skills to help them safely enjoy the water. Our Safety Around Water program is one of the many ways we equip children and adults with the skills to protect themselves in water by learning and enhancing their basic water safety skills to reduce the risk of drowning.
