The Recreation and Parks Department will also be availing timeslots at its swimming pools for prospective candidates to do some pre-assessment training.

Applicants for the seasonal lifeguard positions have to meet set criteria, including lifeguarding and First Aid qualifications, criminal and substance use checks, an interview, where applicable, and they have to successfully complete a swim and rescue test.

There are four categories of lifeguards: beach lifeguard, senior beach lifeguard, swimming pool lifeguard, and senior swimming pool lifeguard who work seasonally. Potential candidates will be required to undergo competency testing during the selection process.
