Your impression of being a lifeguard at the Door County YMCA may not account for how much it can broaden your skills and career options down the road. With the Door County YMCA still looking to fill a few lifeguard slots, you may be a fit to fill one of them, especially if you are pursuing a career as a first responder. Students at Northeastern Wisconsin Technical College are especially encouraged to apply. Aquatics Director Kurt Krauss explained that the training you get to become a lifeguard has similarities to training for other emergency management jobs.
Krauss says that the Door County YMCA is in an okay spot with its lifeguard numbers despite a national shortage. He adds that more lifeguards would allow them greater scheduling flexibility. To learn more about lifeguard training, you can click here.
