How to become a certified lifeguard instructor?

To become a certified lifeguard instructor, you typically need to hold current lifeguard certification, complete an instructor training course approved by a recognized organization such as the American Red Cross or YMCA, and demonstrate strong swimming skills and knowledge of rescue techniques. The instructor course covers teaching methods, safety protocols, and emergency response procedures, and candidates must pass both written and practical exams to earn certification.

Do you love teaching, thrive in the water, and want to play a crucial role in saving lives? We're seeking a passionate and professional Lifeguard Instructor certified by the American Red Cross (ARC) to join our team and lead the charge in training future lifesavers.
As a Lifeguard Instructor, you'll not only teach lifesaving skills - you'll instill confidence, promote water safety, and serve as a role model for both new and experienced aquatics professionals.
What You'll Do
  • Teach & Certify: Deliver engaging, high-quality American Red Cross Lifeguarding, CPR/AED, and First Aid classes in accordance with ARC standards.
  • Prep Like a Pro: Coordinate and organize all course logistics - from setup and supplies to student materials and certifications.
  • Inspire Safety: Motivate and mentor lifeguard candidates to take water safety seriously and develop the skills to respond to emergencies with confidence.
  • Assess & Coach: Evaluate participant performance, provide constructive feedback, and uphold ARC evaluation criteria for passing.
  • Stay Current: Maintain up-to-date ARC Instructor credentials and participate in professional development opportunities when available.
  • Collaborate: Work closely with aquatics leadership, on-site teams, and other instructors to create a seamless, professional training experience.

What You Bring
  • Required: Current American Red Cross Lifeguard Instructor (LGI) certification
  • Preferred: Additional instructor certifications (e.g., CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers, First Aid, Water Safety Instructor)
  • Strong communication and classroom management skills
  • Ability to engage, motivate, and lead diverse groups of learners
  • Confidence in the water and comfort, demonstrating physical skills
  • Reliability, professionalism, and an upbeat, safety-first attitude

Schedule & Availability
  • Flexible schedule required - including evenings and weekends as classes demand
  • Seasonal increases in course demand (spring/summer)
  • Opportunities for ongoing and recurring course instruction

Why Join Us?
  • Competitive compensation
  • All ARC instructor materials and training supplies provided
  • Opportunity to grow into aquatic leadership or risk management roles
  • Meaningful work: every class you teach helps save lives

Ready to Lead from the Pool Deck?
If you're an ARC-certified Lifeguard Instructor who thrives on structure, service, and splash-worthy impact - we want to hear from you!
