All depends on the facility that's hiring you.

It depends on your state. Our minimum wage here in WA is like 8.07 or something around there.

What does minimum wage have to do with being a lifeguard. If I am in trouble in the water, I do not want a minimum wage person trying to save me. Maybe you mean what is the starting pay for a lifeguard who has life saving training.
