Becoming a professional lifeguard

Typically, the Summer high season is from Memorial Day to Labor Day, but most agencies carry on reduced operations in the Spring and Fall. If you are a lifeguard or are interested in becoming a lifeguard, check out the open positions in the area nearest you. We are always looking for qualified rescue professionals who are serious about preventative lifeguarding in an open-water environment.

Vamos a Nadar (Let's Go Swimming) Program

The goal of the Vamos a Nadar (Let’s go swimming) program is to reduce the number of Hispanic drownings in Sonoma County. To reach this goal, the Water Safey Committe of Sonoma County has worked with local partners to develop and implement programs to address this problem. Vamos a Nadar, provides swim lessons and water safety education to youth participants while parents participate in a community water safety training delivered in Spanish.  Upon completion of the 3-hour program, participants receive a voucher that entitles them to a two-week session of swim lessons at a greatly reduced price (~$15 cost per participant). Since 2004 we have delivered this water safety program and free swim lesson to over 200 Hispanic children, and 300 parents.
