Starting Pay: $14 per hour

Benefits: Free YMCA Membership for all employees!

The YMCA of Rapid City is excited to offer a rewarding opportunity for enthusiastic and responsible individuals to join our team as Lifeguards. As a Lifeguard at our facility, you will play a critical role in ensuring the safety and well-being of all our members and guests. Your primary responsibility will be to conduct YMCA swim programs in strict accordance with our established risk management and aquatic policies. This involves maintaining a vigilant eye on all participants, using the skills and techniques taught in your lifeguard certification courses to prevent and respond to emergencies efficiently.

A key aspect of this role is your ability to work alongside your team to maintain a secure and welcoming environment. You will collaborate closely with fellow lifeguards and staff, fostering a team-oriented atmosphere that prioritizes safety above all else. Additionally, you will be responsible for the proper maintenance and safe use of all aquatic equipment, supplies, and materials, ensuring that they are in good condition and used appropriately to minimize replacement costs.

You will conduct regular tests for chlorine, pH levels, and water temperature, as required by our aquatic and maintenance departments. In the event of any discrepancies or "out of range" readings, it will be your duty to promptly notify maintenance personnel and the Aquatic Director, following up with the necessary adjustments or actions. Moreover, adherence to the procedures outlined in the Aquatic Employee Handbook is essential, especially in situations involving pool contamination, such as feces or vomit. Your quick and efficient response in these cases will help maintain a clean and safe swimming environment for all.

Exceptional member service is a cornerstone of the YMCA's mission, and as a Lifeguard, you will be at the forefront of delivering this service. You will be knowledgeable about the various aquatic activities and programs we offer, ready to answer any questions from members or direct them to the appropriate person or department. Your ability to communicate effectively with members, co-workers, and the Aquatic Director will ensure that the YMCA remains a place where everyone feels welcome and supported.

Accurate record-keeping is another critical aspect of this position. You will be responsible for completing and distributing incident and accident reports for any occurrences, ensuring that all details are captured accurately and promptly. This not only helps in maintaining a safe environment but also provides valuable data for continuous improvement in our safety protocols.

Finally, as a Lifeguard at the YMCA of Rapid City, you will embrace the broader mission of the YMCA movement. This includes going above and beyond your core duties to support the organization's goals and values. Whether it's participating in additional training, helping with special events, or stepping in to assist in other areas as needed, your commitment will contribute to creating a vibrant and supportive community.

We are looking for individuals who are not only skilled and certified (lifeguarding certification is required) but also passionate about safety and service. If you are ready to make a difference and be a part of an organization that values excellence, teamwork, and community, we invite you to apply for the Lifeguard position at the YMCA of Rapid City.
