Yuma Lifeguard Certification and Seasonal Hiring

The City of Yuma hires certified lifeguards ages 16 and older for its pools each summer and runs its own certification classes to get you there. To take the class you must pass a swim test that includes a 150-yard swim, a two-minute tread using legs only, and retrieving a 10-pound object from 7 to 10 feet deep. Classes are offered in March and April.
