The Milestone community swimming pool is now accepting applications for junior lifeguards, senior lifeguards, lesson instructors and a pool manager to work this summer at their facility.

Jesse Ridgway, President of the Milestone community swimming pool board, explained that “we have a nice outdoor facility that is open through the summer months. We usually try to open before school is out, about mid-June, and go all the way through to the end of August.”

The application process is open until March 1st, and Ridgway said that they try to start a little earlier for the pool manager position, from mid-May until the end of August, and the rest of the positions would run from about mid-June until the end of August.

Qualifications for each position are as follows:

  • Junior lifeguard: Bronze Cross and Standard First Aid/CPR/AED Level C
  • Senior lifeguard: all of the above and Lifesaving Society National Lifeguard certification (or Red Cross Lifeguard and National Lifeguard Recertification course)
  • Lesson instructors: all of the above and Swim for Life instructor (or WSI and Swim Transition Instructor course)
  • Pool manager: all of the above and Pool Operators course (Lesson instructor certification is optional)

Ridgway said that applications and any questions can be sent via email to mcsp@sasktel.net.
