Register now for Juneau Pools Lifeguarding Class in early January

Juneau Pools is currently hiring lifeguards—and offering a new training opportunity next month. Registration is now open for the January Juneau Pools lifeguarding class at Dimond Park Aquatic Center. Participants who successfully complete the class will earn an American Red Cross Lifeguard Certification, valid for two years.

Register online via the Parks and Rec registration catalog (under the Juneau Pools tab). Registration closes on Friday, December 27.

The class will take place on Thursday, January 2 through Saturday, January 4 and Monday, January 6 from 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. daily.

Class fees are $250 for general participants but free for those who submit an application for employment as a Juneau Pools lifeguard by the end of the course. Both Dimond Park Aquatic Center and Augustus G. Brown Swimming Pool are currently hiring lifeguards for part-time positions, with early morning, daytime, and evening shifts available.

The class is open to a maximum of 10 people.

Prerequisites: Complete a pre-course session in the pool prior to the first day of class. The pre-course includes a 200-yard swim, brick retrieval from 10 feet, and treading water for 2 minutes. Must be 15 years old by the last day of class.
