Job Opportunities - Junior Lifeguards

If you are 13 or 14 years old and have a desire to help the community, the City of Peoria Aquatics Department invites you to enroll in our Junior Lifeguard program. 

The classes are designed for youth interested in becoming lifeguards, and provides the knowledge and skills needed to assist with Water Safety Instructors and Lifeguards.  The course also includes certification in Red Cross CPR for the Professional Rescuer.

The Junior Lifeguard program helps participants build a foundation of knowledge, attitudes and skills that they will need become responsible young adults.  Lessons are grouped into five main areas: prevention, fitness, response, leadership and professionalism.

Once the class is successfully completed, participants must spend 50 hours of training throughout the summer months.

Junior Lifeguards with positive evaluations will be invited back the following season and need to commit to 40 hours of training.  Returning Junior Lifeguards will need to ensure their CPR certifications are current.
