How old do I need to be to become a lifeguard in Texas?
Most pools ask for 15 years old on the final day of the course. Waterfront and beach roles generally want 16 or above. Because individual Milam County employers may require more, check the advert before committing.
What swim test do I have to pass?
Expect a continuous 300 yard swim, 2 minutes of legs-only treading, and a 10-pound brick recovered from between 7 and 10 feet. It is the first thing that happens in person, so be ready for the water on arrival.
