West Des Moines Parks and Recreation is set to open both Holiday Park Aquatic Center and Valley View Aquatic Center for the 2021 season. To successfully operate both facilities, 120 are hired annually, due to the pandemic and only opening Holiday Park Aquatic Center last year for modified swim lessons and lap swim, this year has been very challenging to hire enough lifeguards. We are still needing to hire 15-20 more lifeguards for this season. If you or someone you know would be interested, please share this information with them. You must apply online at www.wdm.iowa.gov/jobs.

Why become a Lifeguard?
- Make a Difference
Every day you go to work, you will actively make an impact. Your very existence promotes safety. - Help Others
From the Band-Aid you put on a child’s knee, to the door you open for an elderly patron, to the horrified swimmer you pull out of the water; the kindness, care and compassion you demonstrate is appreciated! - The Chance to Save a Life
Be a HERO! You’ll never know when you’ll be in the right place at the right time. - Experience a TEAM Like No Other
Lifeguards work together in specific scenarios in an emergency. They train in these scenarios together, they learn them together. Camaraderie, friendship, respect, loyalty is all part of the lifeguarding TEAM. - Become a Role Model
As a Lifeguard you will have an incredible opportunity to meet wonderful people and develop life and job skills that will last forever.
We hope you’ll consider working at the WDM Aquatic Centers this summer and make a DIFFERENCE in our COMMUNITY! If you have any questions about becoming a lifeguard, please contact Trevor Hoth, Recreation Coordinator at trevor.hoth@wdm.iowa.gov or 222-4329
