Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer with us, and we will help pay for your Instructor and Lifeguard training! 

group of volunteers

By volunteering at the pool you will earn credits for every volunteer hour worked. These credits can be applied to the cost of select leadership courses required to become a Lifeguard or Swim Instructor. Candidates are required to pay the exam and course material fees. Alternatively, volunteer hours can instead be used for High School Community Involvement Hours.
