"You don’t have to be young, you can definitely be on the ladder half of your career or a teacher or something like that looking for part-time work," said Andrea Wallace, Assistant Director of Recreation and Business Services.
It has started lifeguard training for the 2025 season, with a new "express training" session for college students during winter break.
“I decided to be lifeguard just because a lot of my friends were doing it and I’ve always loved swimming so it was just easy to go into," said Chris Kloss, Lifeguard.
The program kicked off at the Pulaski Park Indoor Pool. It is designed to make it easier than ever for college students who are home to earn their lifeguard certification.
