Lifeguard Recertification Course March 8, 2025 SIENNA CLUB (View Map)

Dear GHPM Employees, 

We are so excited that you’ll be joining us for the summer of 2025. As part of the qualification for this position, you will take part in a lifeguard training course. If you are new to lifeguarding, or your certification has expired, the in-person training will be three days in length. For this course, you will register for the Lifeguard Training Course. Please be sure to look at the dates carefully and select a class that you will be able to attend all three days. If you already have a lifeguard certification that is expiring soon, you will need a Lifeguard Review Course. This class is a one day in- person training.

The total cost for the entire Lifeguard Certification is $200.00 in March and $250.00 in April and May. For those only needing the Lifeguard Review (current Lifeguard Certification that expires this year) the cost is $75.00. If this is too much for you to pay immediately, we do have a program to help you. You have the option of putting $50.00 down, and then the remaining balance can be taken out of your paycheck in small increments until it is paid off. If you are interested in this option, you will register for the Lifeguard Payment Plan.

Lifeguard Training Course:

OPERATIONS TRAINING: Will take place from 8:00am-9:00am on the in-person training days.

During this training, GHPM lifeguards will learn how to test pool water, brush the pool walls, vacuum the pool, positively interact with patrons of all ages, learn how to clean bathrooms, fill out necessary daily paperwork, learn the basics of the pump room and how to troubleshoot, learn how to backwash, discuss company policies and special weather and safety situations, go over our clock in and out system, discuss our scheduling system, and go over our in-service schedule while discussing the importance of continued education as a lifeguard. Providing all this important information will help make you an outstanding Greater Houston Pool Management employee.

After the Operations Training each day, the rest of the course consists of the pre-course skill test. Of course, you will need a swim suit. It is recommended that females wear a one piece. It is easier to do the skills in a one piece suit. Also, bring a towel, sunscreen, water, LUNCH, snacks and a change of clothes. You will not be allowed to leave once the class has started, so be sure to bring the food items you will need for the day.

In addition, you will complete the First Aid, Blood-borne Pathogens, and CPR portions of the Lifeguard Course and the in water rescue portion of the class. 

Lifeguard Recertification Course:

For those who are participating in the Lifeguard Recertification Course, you will need to complete an online portion that you will complete on your computer at home prior to attending the one day in person portion of the class. Although you can do the online portion on your phone as well, we have found in rare occasions that some people have run into troubles with their information not saving. Because of this, we recommend you take a picture each time you complete a module as proof of completion in case you run into any complications.

Upon registration, you will receive an email with a voucher to start the online portion. It does save as you go, so you do not need to complete all of the material at once. When you start each online module, you are given the option to take the test first. If you choose to and pass, then you are allowed to skip the instructional part of that particular module. Once you complete the entire online portion of the class, you will receive an email from American Red Cross congratulating you on your completion. Please forward that email to jenniferm@greaterhoustonpool.com or screen shot it and text it to 281-881-6272.

We are EXCITED that we can provide you with a fun job this summer that will in turn provide you with an income. Please reach out to us if you have any questions by texting 281-881-6272 or emailing jenniferm@greaterhoustonpool.com. Welcome to the GHPM Team!
