Lifeguard

A YMCA Lifeguard ensures the safety of pool patrons by maintaining vigilance, enforcing rules, and responding immediately to emergency situations using the 'safe-in-six' model. The role involves managing aquatic environments, attending to physical and verbal distress signals, and maintaining accurate records while upholding YMCA values of caring and responsibility. Lifeguards also support community goals by engaging members, participating in fundraising, and completing required seasonal trainings and certifications.
