As members of the guarding team, lifeguards ensure the safety of all guests of Sunriver Owners Association’s aquatics facilities. Lifeguards anticipate potential emergencies and identify and respond to emergency situations according to their American Red Cross lifeguard training. Lifeguards enforce pool policies and effectively communicate why they are in place. Lifeguards are also key to providing a welcoming environment for all guests and fellow employees. Growth opportunities for supervisory positions are available.
