Benefits:

Competitive wage of $ 16-18 per hour and thorough training (fully paid) to help you feel confident in your abilities
Frequent and regular pay raises with positive performance feedback - all of our leaders and member experience (front desk) representatives began as instructors! We are actively growing our leadership team of Golden Teachers, Trainers (Golden Buddies) and Deck Supervisors - all you have to do is learn our curriculum, culture and build relationships from within your team
Free swim lessons for children & siblings
Gift cards, swag, staff outings and other rewards like pizza after a long night in the pool

We are a culture-driven company. We practice our core values as much as we practice our swim skills and seek out others who believe in doing the right things, making the right decisions and teaching with integrity, compassion and trust. We are continuously awarded as top employers from our community and from those who matter most - our team!

Ability to swim; everyone on our team is lifeguard, CPR & AED certified. You’ll go through our in-house lifeguard certification program as part of your training and you must pass a basic swim test (50 yards) to complete the course
Must be able to commit to missing no more than one class every 6 weeks (80-90% attendance) for each day you work
You will find and prepare your own substitute teacher when you aren’t able to teach yourself, leaving notes so that your substitute can be as fin-tastic as you are
Ability to be in the water for 4 hours at a time; this is an in-water position in a chlorinated pool and can be difficult for individuals with sensitive skin without proper pre and post shift care

We won’t ask you to stay late at night, when lessons end, we go home!
