Summer camp lifeguard Jobs
To find lifeguard work in any summer camp or summer school you will need to be 18 or over (occasionally 16) and a strong swimmer (which roughly means 50 metres in 60 seconds and 100 metres without stopping). Beyond that the requirements vary from place to place, some insist on a NPLQ certificate and some will put you through it if you meet the other criteria.
Lifeguard roles exist in both the Summer Camp programmes abroad and on Summer Schools in the UK. In the UK these can be either live in or live out if you are close by. Many employers and organisers of both types contribute to Season Workers each year and you will find what's currently on offer below or by clicking here to see all Summer Camp Jobs.
