CHARLOTTE, N.C. - It’s hard to believe, but we are getting closer to the summer.
That means spending more time outside or at the pool. If your teen needs a summer job, the YMCA needs your help. They’re looking to hire 300 lifeguards and aquatic staff for the summer season.
Olivia Pauldin has been a lifeguard for six years, and says she’s expecting busier crowds at the pool this summer.
“I definitely think we’ll see more people. I know last year a lot of people were still scared to come out just because covid was still so new,” she says. “I know now that the vaccine is out and people are a little bit more confident, the numbers are getting better. I definitely think we will see a lot more people out this summer.”
If your child is interested in becoming a lifeguard there are some requirements:
- Must be 16 years of age
- CPR certification must be completed with 30 days of being hired
- Pass the lifeguard water test
