For pool work the common requirement is age 15 by the course end date, rising to 16 or older for waterfront and beach positions. Employers in Cache County sometimes set a higher minimum, so confirm against the posting before you register.
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.
