Lifeguarding jobs in the U.S.
What's involved with being a lifeguard at summer camp?
"Lifeguarding is a lot of responsibility. You will get all the training you'll need in staff training which means you'll learn how to keep the swimmers safe and perform first aid and rescues if needed. Emergencies are very rare (I have only had two in six years), and when things go right, you get to sit in the sun, have fun with the kids, and you get swim breaks – ideal on a hot day!" - Liam Cutler

FAQs
If you'd like to be a lifeguard at summer camp, or a lifeguard in the future, it might be worth getting qualified. As although the US camps will be wanting an American red cross certification (which you’ll be able to do at camp) you’ll find that experience and country specific certifications will make all the difference to your application.
When you begin your application you’ll be asked to select your top skills. Make sure you choose lifeguarding and go into detail about what you’re going to bring to the role. You’ll be able to choose your current experience level and if you’re already qualified. A camp director will then be able to assess if you’re a good fit and invite you to their camp.
Yes. Lifeguards will arrive before other staff and will undergo an intensive training week under the American red cross criteria, even if already certified in your home country. Even counselors who are not specifically lifeguards can be invited to join and get certified, your camp director will let you know if you need to go or not.
