Will I be guarding a pool or open water in Calloway County?
Pools. No open-water venue is recorded in Calloway County. Named sites in Calloway County include Central Park Pool. Whether a certification is accepted for waterfront or surf positions depends on the employer and, in some states, on state rules, so check the posting before you apply. Surf beaches often run their own qualifying test.
How old do I need to be to become a lifeguard in Kentucky?
Pool employers generally want candidates to be 15 by the final day of the course, while waterfront and beach roles usually start at 16. Some employers in Calloway County set the bar higher, so read the job posting before booking.
What swim test do I have to pass?
You will swim 300 yards without stopping, tread for 2 minutes using legs alone, and bring a 10-pound brick back from 7 to 10 feet of water. Because it opens the in-person session, turn up prepared to get straight in.
