Westchester Insider: WORK WITH AN AWARD-WINNING LIFEGUARD TEAM.

 

Work With an Award-Winning Lifeguard Team.

 

(Ardsley, NY) – Take charge, be a lifeguard! Learn important life-saving skills and be part of an award winning aquatics team at Westchester County Parks’ pools and beaches this summer.

 

The pandemic brought lifeguard trainings to a halt and in turn created a deficit of available lifeguards all over the country. With restrictions beginning to loosen up the Westchester County Parks Aquatics Division is now able to offer training to new guards who accept a position with us, which includes waterfront training for the option to guard at either a pool or beach.

 

Applicants must be 15 years or older, possess current American Red Cross Lifeguarding/First Aid and CPR/AED for Lifeguards certifications or equivalent, and pass the Westchester County practical skills test.

 

During the height of the pandemic, Westchester County Parks Lifeguards were tasked with increased responsibilities to protect the health of visitors at its four pools and two beaches. This dedication led to the American Red Cross naming the Aquatics Division a Top 200 Provider. This is a team worth joining as it lays the foundation of a strong work ethic for young adults as they transition into the work force.
