What does the pre-season lifeguard test consist of?
The lifeguard test consists of a timed swim, a dive test (see next paragraph), a run, and an interview. The swim test is 500m in the St. Francis Community Center indoor pool that must be completed in 10 minutes or less. 500m is approximately 550 yards, which is 11 laps, or 22 lengths of a standard 25 yard swimming pool. Jobs will be assigned based on swim times and stroke efficiency, past experience and certifications, and the interview. Applicants that do not pass the swim test will not continue through the rest of the employment testing.
