Answer 7

To become certified as an American Red Cross Lifeguard, you need to be 15 by the last day of class.

It depends on the employer as to how old you must be to work there. Some places will hire 15 year olds. You must be 16 in some states to work as a water slide attendant. I've worked at pools that only hired 18 year olds as lifeguards.

The pay varies from state to state and also depends on what type of place you are working at. City recs and non-profit (YMCAs, etc) typically pay less. Private pools, colleges, and beaches usually pay well. Usually starting pay is $.50 to $1.00 more than minimum wage.

Answer 8

For Red Cross certification, 15 is the minimum age.
