Ridgewood NJ, Every year, we hear from Parks & Rec that lifeguards trained to work at a sand-bottom facility are in short supply. Lifeguarding at Graydon requires a higher level of skill than is required at a concrete pool.

This summer, young people ages 15 and up may take the requisite course right at Graydon and become eligible to apply to be a lifeguard there. (Recertification for current lifeguards is offered separately.)This is an excellent and unusual opportunity.

All classes will be held at Graydon in July. A prerequisite fitness and endurance test will be held on Thursday, June 30. Details are in the yellow section of the flier reproduced below.

Please pass this information to any young person you know who may be interested. Ridgewood residency is NOT required. The prerequisite test is on June 30.

Questions? Contact the Village Department of Parks & Recreation at 201-670-5560 (8:30am–4:30pmMondayFriday).
