I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Media, PA) in June 2013
Interview
First you hand in an application. Then you get an over the phone interview. They ask you very strange and specific questions that even a trained lifeguard would have trouble answering. They ask you when you can come in for a test in person. You must rescue someone from the pool in front of them.
very good. good people there who work there and i like to work there because it is very fun being outside and talking with good people and free popsicles and the interviewer was nice and respectful and all oof that.
The interview process was overall easy. You just need to have your certifications, you need to pass a breathing test, and you need to pass a swim test. Pretty easy interview.
Swim test and basic questions. Very chill and conversational. Gave me introduction to their different systems and showed me how to change my hours and look for cover. I recommend wilting here!
