Across the country, pools and beaches have closed or reduced schedules as a result of a five-year long national lifeguard shortage. Becoming a lifeguard enables local swimming spots to stay open and safe. Now is the time to become a certified before Summer 2025! Philadelphia Parks & Recreation is one employer offering incentives for joining their lifeguarding team. The ZAC Foundation encourages eligible teenagers and adults?to consider this rewarding summer opportunity. Contact your local recreation department or swim club to learn about recruitment in your area! #DrowningPrevention #PublicSafety #ChildSafety
