Lifeguard Jobs in Maryland

A Lifeguard is a vital role in the fitness and recreation industry, responsible for ensuring the safety of individuals utilizing pools, lakes, or beaches. They monitor activities, enforce rules and safety protocols, and provide assistance to individuals in danger. Lifeguards are trained to respond quickly and effectively to water emergencies, perform lifesaving procedures, and administer first aid or CPR as needed. They also maintain the cleanliness of their work area and sometimes conduct water safety courses for members of the public.

To be effective, a Lifeguard needs strong swimming skills, excellent physical fitness, and a keen awareness of their surroundings. They should hold a Lifeguard Certification, and in many cases, also be certified in First Aid and CPR. Prior job roles that would provide relevant experience for becoming a lifeguard might include Swim Instructor, Camp Counselor with water safety duties, or Pool Attendant. This experience helps us develop necessary skills like water safety knowledge, public interaction, and emergency response.
