The city of Las Vegas is opening up opportunities for those looking to work as pool staff during the upcoming summer season.

The city's pools are seeking 50 lifeguards, as well as water safety instructors, pool managers, and assistant managers, to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all bathers. The announcement notes that candidates should come prepared for interviews, swim tests, and the hiring and onboarding process.
