By being a lifeguard, you can not only make a difference to a person’s life, but also your own life. There are loads of other benefits too.
Being a lifeguard can be the start of a career, a flexible job that fits around retirement or life as a parent or grandparent or a way of earning money, whilst studying or travelling.
Lifeguards are representative of wider society and the lifeguard workplace is welcoming, inclusive and free from discrimination.
