There are a lot of different ways to spend your summer. One of the tempting options is being a lifeguard in the USA. Your main responsibility would be taking care of the pool and its visitors.
The highlight of this job is the ability to enjoy work and sunny weather outside. At the end of the season, you can use the opportunity to travel around the USA.
Registrations for summer 2025 are now open.
During the season, 500 lifeguards traveled with us to the USA – 50 of them chose to work on the beach. This shows how popular the program is among university students. The Pool Companies are located on the east cost of the USA.
The pool lifeguard is responsible for the whole swimming pool as well as the contentment of the patrons. Beach lifeguards save lives on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, which is why they must have outstanding swimming and English skills.
We co-operate with 15 employers who we know personally thanks to our long-term relationships. Some of the companies are bigger than the others, but you will be able to choose one from our catalog without a doubt.
The pay rate always depends on the employer. The general pay rate per hour is about 14,50 – 18 USD. Working time is around 40+ hours a week. If needed, your employer can ask you to work overtime, which is rewarded higher. (Some of the employers are classified as seasonal, so they might not act on it).
Most of the employers provide accommodation from your first day in the USA on their own premises or arranged apartments. The accommodation at some of the locations (New Jersey, Ocean City, Myrtle Beach) is not provided – students have to find a place on their own with our help and recommendations.
