Each summer, our Red Cross-certified lifeguards help keep our swimmers safe. Many return season after season. Join us and find out what makes Afton Village Swim Club a great place to work this summer.

Our lifeguards are attentive, alert and self-motivated. They ensure the safety of all members and guests by enforcing facility regulations, monitoring activity, and rendering emergency care when needed. Lifeguards must be comfortable in water, able to perform their duties in conditions of high heat and sun exposure, and agree to perform tasks around the facility to help keep it clean and safe.
