Lifeguard Positions
Still Available at Raymond Lord Memorial Pool in Lowell.
Boston
– Tuesday, June 23, 2015 -
With the opening of pools across the state this weekend, the Department of
Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is currently seeking applicants for lifeguard
positions for many of the state’s pools and beaches, including Raymond Lord
Memorial Pool in the City of Lowell. DCR lifeguards are professional rescuers
who are trained to both prevent injuries from occurring, and to respond in an
emergency to help save a life.
“The Department of
Conservation and Recreation works hard to ensure that our state’s pools and
beaches are as safe as can be, and that starts with the training of our
lifeguards, who are certified in lifesaving practices and procedures,” said DCR Commissioner Carol Sanchez. “I
encourage anyone interested, especially someone in the Lowell area, to apply to
become a lifeguard for the state this summer.”
The current wage for a
lifeguard position is $13.26 an hour. The agency also provides CPR and
lifeguard certification at no cost to trainees. As part of a team, lifeguards
must work together in a calm and efficient manner to manage crisis situations.
To learn more about
lifeguarding opportunities with the Department of Conservation and Recreation,
