I'm 15 years old. Can I be hired as a lifeguard?

Question

I'm going to be taking lifeguard classes soon and I wanted to know if I was able to be hired at age 15.

Answer 1

yup! you can

Answer 2

I think that that is the age you have to be in order to be certified. You'll have a better chance of being hired when you're 16 though just because you would have less limitations.

Answer 3

Once you get your certification most pools will be willing to hire you at age 15. You may have some restrictions on your hours until you are 16, but most pools are willing to hire a 15 year old as long as you are certified. I would inquire at your local pool, or where ever you would like to get a job for more specifics.

Answer 4

You cannot be hired as a beach lifeguard, but have every opportunity to be hired as a pool lifeguard. I believe you must be CPR certified or take a course provided by the property owners.

Answer 5

well..it depends on where you are wanting to be hired at...i am 15 and am a lifeguard at my local pool....it all really depends on the pool....i would say go ahead and get your certification and be ready to become a lifeguard ...good luck!!!
