Where will I be working?

There are many different styles of pool facilities and each one is unique.   As a member of the lifeguard team, you may be asked to float from one pool to another and it's very important to understand that what you do at one pool may not be deemed appropriate at another pool. We never ask you to work at a pool that is more than 15 miles from your house. There are Homeowner Association Communities, Private Swim Clubs, Single-Guard Pools, and Multi-Guard Pools. Ask your Supervisor about the specifics of the pool where you are assigned.

How do I get paid?

We issue paychecks every two weeks. If you are assigned to a specific pool then we will give the paychecks to your pool manager who takes it to your pool.  If you are a substitute lifeguard than the checks will be mailed.

How much vacation time can I take? What if I am sick or need time off?

We only allow Full Time Lifeguards take seven consecutive days of vacation time. It is the employee's responsibility to give at least a two-week notice in writing to the Staffing Department for any scheduled time-off. Employees need to realize that many people are relying on them to work their scheduled shifts and to arrive at work on time. Fellow lifeguards, property managers, patrons, SwimAtlanta and the neighborhood children are relying on you to be responsible. If you are ill or absolutely have an emergency and cannot make your shift, please notify the office as soon as possible and begin trying to find a substitute guard to take your place.  It is extremely difficult for your assigned shift to be filled; however, our Staffing Department will work diligently to accommodate your situation. Understand the difficult position that you put the Staffing Department Representatives in as they will need to find another lifeguard, notify the Pool Manager, and possibly rework the schedules of local facilities to accommodate you.

How many hours will I work?

All full time guards are asked to work between 20 and 25 hours per week. You may work more hours if you so desire. We also offer a part-time lifeguard opportunity, which requires you to work one hundred hours over the course of the summer.

Do Lifeguards have legal obligations?

It is very important to understand that on top of your normal lifeguard responsibilities, all lifeguards have moral and legal obligations at the job site. Please make sure you fully understand these items before beginning your employment. By choosing to work for SwimAtlanta, you will be insured for Workman’s Compensation and Professional Liability.
