Aquatic jobs are ideal for students with shifts available early mornings, evenings, and weekends and adults with full-time positions available. While swim lessons are a fantastic way to learn how to swim and be in and around water safely, they aren’t a requirement to start the Aquatic Employment Program. Along with being a confident swimmer, participants must be at least 16 years of age.

Being a lifeguard and swim instructor can allow you to work flexible hours, swim while you work, socialize with participants and coworkers, and feel a sense of pride and purpose while you keep people safe. Successful participants will build leadership skills that can have a profound impact on your future success. You’ll also make a splash in your community by joining a non-profit charity that works to build vibrant, healthy neighbourhoods.
