ABOUT THE Y

YMCA South Australia is a not-for-profit community organisation that has served the South Australian community for more than 170 years. We are a leading provider of recreation, community, and children's services and our aim is to develop the whole person, helping all South Australians connect with a better life - not only physical fitness and capabilities but also sense of identity, purpose, hope and dignity, psychological health, resilience, social connectedness, lifelong learning and contribution back into the community.

Supervising pool users actively to ensure safety at all times
Identifying risks and respond to incidents or emergencies promptly
Delivering first aid and emergency response when required
Promoting safe aquatic practices and positive patron behaviours
Maintaining pool operations, equipment setup, and safety compliance

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

Pool Lifeguard certificate (or willingness to obtain)
