For candidates interested in continuing with Rock Ridge after the pool closes, fall and winter employment opportunities within our clubhouse may also be available for the right individuals interested in hospitality, food & beverage, and member service.

  • Respond quickly and appropriately to emergency situations.
  • Perform water rescues and administer first aid, CPR, and/or other emergency care when necessary.
  • Arrive promptly and prepared for all scheduled shifts.
  • Assist with maintaining the cleanliness and organization of the pool deck and surrounding areas.
  • Maintain a professional appearance and positive attitude while providing a high level of member service.
  • Communicate professionally with members, guests, supervisors, and fellow staff.
  • Perform additional pool-related duties as assigned.

Position Details
Position Type: Seasonal / Part-Time
Season: Late August through September

Finish the Summer With Us
Come help us close out another great summer at Rock Ridge! Late-season lifeguards who come save the day will be eligible for priority consideration for the 2027 pool season. And if you're not ready to stop working when the pool closes, ask us about potential clubhouse hospitality opportunities for the fall and winter months.
Qualified candidates should apply with their current lifeguard certifications and availability.
