2. Once you have been hired, you will need to complete the new lifeguard certification process. There is no re-certification available due to the new guidelines.
   
   
   • If you are not currently certified, please visit our Training & Certification page for upcoming course dates. We encourage you to complete your training as soon as possible.
     
     
   • If you do not take your course with Aqua-Guard, please submit copies of your certification records to us. Copies may be faxed directly to Aqua-Guard at (847) 531-8687 or mailed to the address provided above. We accept Red Cross certification which includes Lifeguard, First Aid, and CPR training. We also accept Ellis Certifications.
     
     
     
3. Attend Employee Orientation Meeting and complete the Skills Test. These activities are held during our Lifeguard Certification classes.
   
   
   • If you are not attending a scheduled certification class at Walden Recreation Center, you will need to make alternate arrangements to complete the skills test. If you are attending orientation during a scheduled course, you need to come at the beginning of the class on the specified date. Call Alison at (847) 531-8625 to request a time.
     
     
   • It is mandatory that every employee attends an orientation session. We will be reviewing the employee handbook, completing payroll paper work, and distributing uniforms. You will also learn much of what will be expected of you in your new job. If for some reason you cannot attend one of our scheduled sessions, you must call the office and set up a separate time to meet with someone to review what you’ve missed.
     
     
     
4. Attend the Meet Your Manager Meeting. This meeting is conducted so that the lifeguards and managers can meet each other, the maintenance crew and the office staff before the season starts. It is the only time all summer where all the lifeguards will be in one place at the same time. You will be starting a pool work schedule, going through your individual pool rules and procedures, and discussing your manager and district manager’s policies. It is mandatory that you attend this meeting.
