NYC PARKS IS CALLING FOR LIFEGUARDS! TRY OUT FOR A CHANCE TO BECOME A LIFEGUARD FOR SUMMER 2020
Qualifying tests will be held at locations in all five boroughs for lifeguards for the summer 2020 season
DATES &
LOCATIONS: Tests run throughout December and January
Multiple dates and times
Please visit site for exact times and locations
DETAILS: Help us keep millions of New Yorkers safe at NYC's eight beaches and 53 outdoor pools this summer. As one of just 1,400 NYC Parks Lifeguards, you will be part of an elite group that is committed to serving the public.
One of the best jobs in New York City, lifeguarding gives people the opportunity to work in a rewarding and challenging environment during the busy summer months. It requires split-second decision making that could mean the difference between life and death and helps develop valuable skills—a strong work ethic, teamwork, leadership, and communication—that will last a lifetime in any profession.
Before joining our lifeguard training program, applicants must pass the Qualifying Test, a set of vision and swim exams. All candidates are tested by Parks’ Lifeguard School to ensure that they meet the highest standards.
Qualifying test requirements:
· Be at least 16 years of age by the start of employment.
· Have at least 20/30 vision in one eye and 20/40 in the other - without corrective lenses.
· Glasses and contact lenses may not be worn during the eye exam.
· Be able to swim 50 yards in 35 seconds or less, with proper form.
