Safety is our number one priority, so Lifeguards work closely with Swim Teachers, Camp Managers and venue staff to ensure the facilities and equipment are safe, conducting risk assessments, monitoring water conditions, and mitigating incidents.

This role can also be accompanied with the Multi Sports Coach role if you’re looking for more hours around swim sessions. Working hours: Flexible between 9:30am-3:30pm Monday- Friday. Exact working hours also dependent upon the availability of the pool and the numbers of children attending.
