Activity #6135 Are you looking for a new opportunity? Why not register for our Lifeguard Recruitment program?

The Lifeguard Recruitment Program is designed to train and recruit our next generation of Lifeguards by removing registration barriers and waiving the registration fee of each course required to become a certified National Lifeguard. The City of Wetaskiwin will train any person (at least 16 years of age by the National Lifeguard exam) interested in the program that can pass a basic in-water skill assessment. After the skill assessment concludes, successful candidates will be asked to submit a resume to HR@wetaskiwin.ca to begin the hiring process as a lifeguard in training at the Manluk Regional Aquatic and Fitness Centre.

During the program, participants will receive over 96 hours of paid training and will save over $850.00 in training fees. Those interested can register online or in person at the Manluk Centre.

The information and skill assessment will be held on January 5 at 4:30pm. Job Interviews and training will commence after the skill assessment and interview process has concluded.

Participants in this program will be automatically enrolled in each required course by a Manluk Centre Staff member.
