How old do I need to be to become a lifeguard in Nebraska?
Age 15 on the last day of class covers most pool jobs, and waterfront or beach positions usually need 16. Employers in Chase County can impose a higher floor, so look at the posting before you register.
What swim test do I have to pass?
Three elements: a continuous 300 yard swim, 2 minutes treading with legs only, and recovering a 10-pound brick from 7 to 10 feet and bringing it back. This happens at the very start of the in-person session, so come ready to swim.
