Whether you swim at the High School and Community Pool or in your own backyard pool, staying safe in a pool takes common sense: learn to swim; supervise children in a pool closely; never swim alone; and know what to do in an emergency.

Our staff are well trained in emergency response, and attend frequent trainings to refresh their skills. Lifeguarding is a rewarding job, and one that we are proud to do.
