Lifeguard training classes are available for persons 15 years of age and older, while water safety instructor training classes are available for persons 16 years of age or older. Wages for lifeguards, cashiers and swim instructors are dependent upon the position and age of the applicant, and starting pay ranges from $8.00 – $10.25 an hour.
