About the role...  

Our lifeguards aren't just responsible for keeping guests safe whilst using our water park facilities, they're key to making everyone feel welcome and ensuring they have a swimmingly good time! There’ll be no slow-mo style drama here, as it’s our lifeguard’s job to prevent accidents before they occur.  

Lifeguards implement our policies and procedures and must be a steady, reliable, and authoritative presence in the event a guest needs their help – whether that’s helping someone in danger of drowning or delivering first aid when needed.

The role involves keeping the equipment and facilities maintained and making sure that the capacity of the water park is run per local, state, and federal guidelines.
