This job is basically like Baywatch.

Except it's at a pool and The Rock and Zac Effron won't be there.

HOWEVER, this isn't just your everyday lifeguarding gig.

Embrace your inner aqua-yoga, aqua-fit and aqua-dance instructor. Brush up on your inner-tube water polo officiating skills, because you can be the type of lifeguard that kids write home about!

Working at Pearce Williams is all about embracing your passions and sharing them with kids. Whatever you love, the kids will love, and THAT'S the mindset we want you to bring this summer.
