Last year, the city of Phoenix couldn't open all of its pools because of a lifeguard shortage. They're hoping to avoid that this year with a $3,000 incentive.
New hires will get $500 in their first paycheck and the remaining $2,500 at the end of the pool season.
"To receive the pay, a person must become certified as a lifeguard, work the entire summer through Labor Day weekend and finish in good standing," city officials said. The Parks and Recreation Department is also offering a new shallow water lifeguard position, which will monitor people in four feet of water and under.
"The idea behind the shallow water lifeguard is to help those people who want to become lifeguards and then work on their swimming skills and endurance throughout the summer," said Becky Kirk with the City of Phoenix.The city also offers certification classes in the spring.
