Pool Attendants and Staff

Pool attendants provide a safe, clean, and fun swimming environment for all, and maintain the daily operations of the pool. They are just as important as the lifeguards.

Employers are looking for hardworking friendly individuals to greet and check in members and guests as they enter the water sports centre.

What's in it for you?

Often you work in a spectacular pool environment for an organization with a team orientated culture and flexible working hours. A swimming pool or aquatic centre is a great place to grow your career in a fantastic place to work.

Best of all, you're expected to swim in clothes or your uniform whenever someone wants you to sort out something in the pool, or when pool users require your assistance.

Use and experience the pool or water park first hand, so you are familiar with all aspects of the fitness facilities, aqua sports, social and relaxation areas. Check out the exercise machines, indoor and outdoor pools, and participate in the exercise classes each week. Always wear your uniform for this.
