AquaSafe Pool Management

Be the Hero of the Summer – Lifeguard in Hanover, Maryland

Imagine starting every workday with the smell of sunscreen, the sound of splashing water, and the knowledge that you are the person everyone trusts to keep them safe. AquaSafe Pool Management is looking for energetic, responsible university students to join their team of Lifeguards in Hanover, Maryland for the Summer to Fall season. This is one of the most iconic and rewarding Work & Travel USA jobs – and it pays $15.50 per hour for a solid 48 hours per week.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Lifeguard with AquaSafe, you’ll be the calm, confident presence at community pools, apartment complexes and swim clubs across the Hanover area. Your daily responsibilities will include:

• Monitoring swimmers and enforcing pool rules to prevent accidents before they happen
• Performing water rescues and administering first aid or CPR when needed
• Testing and recording water chemistry levels to keep the pool safe and sparkling
• Keeping the deck, restrooms and pool area clean, tidy and hazard-free
• Welcoming guests, checking memberships and answering questions with a friendly smile
• Completing daily safety logs and incident reports accurately

No prior experience? No problem. AquaSafe provides professional lifeguard certification training (American Red Cross or equivalent) so you’ll finish the summer with an internationally recognized qualification on your CV.

Why Hanover, Maryland?

Hanover sits in the sweet spot between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. – meaning your days off can be spent exploring two of America’s most exciting cities. Wander Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, catch an Orioles game at Camden Yards, or hop on the train to D.C. to see the White House, the Smithsonian museums (all free!) and the National Mall. Craving the beach? Ocean City and the Atlantic coast are just a couple of hours away, and Annapolis, Maryland’s charming sailing capital, is practically next door. Add in world-famous Maryland crab cakes, huge shopping outlets like Arundel Mills, and a friendly, international community, and you’ve got the perfect Work & Travel base.

Benefits & Perks

• $15.50 per hour – one of the strongest rates in the Work & Travel program
• 48 guaranteed hours per week – excellent earning potential over the season
• Free professional lifeguard, CPR and First Aid certification
• Extended Summer to Fall season – more weeks, more money, more travel time

What We’re Looking For

• University students aged 18–25 eligible for the Work & Travel USA program
• Strong swimming ability – you must pass a swim test (typically 300m continuous swim, treading water, and a brick retrieval)
• Good conversational English and confident communication skills
