We have established a successful international staffing program which began in the summer of 2001, to further increase the level of service to our customers. Our program allows us to bring students on either J-1 or H-2B visas. All applicants must apply and qualify for the visa programs as well as possess the physical ability and knowledge to take and pass the lifeguard training class (which includes lifeguard training, first aid and CPR) upon their arrival in the United States. Applicants usually arrive prior to June 1st and leave after the season has ended in late September.
This program fulfills two needs: international guards are here to work in the difficult staffing times of May and August, when many American students are not out of school yet or need to be back prior to Memorial Day; due to the increased competition in the industry, as well as the shrinking labor pool, retaining guards has become increasingly difficult – international lifeguards have become essential to keeping pools staffed.
Should you be interested in learning more about this program, please contact our Director of International Staffing.
