Lifeguard - Certified

Saf-T-Swim offers a fun environment where you can make a difference for others in a rewarding environment all while getting paid. We teach life-saving swimming skills, but our company culture is laid back. We get to work with children every day, so each day is full of smiles, laughter, and just being silly. Our staff are paid to make a splash, literally!! We’ve been doing this for 35 years, and we are not only Long Island’s #1 Swim School, but we are also number one at treating our staff like family. We want to extend our family, so if you are looking to have fun, change lives, and get paid doing it then we want to meet you. We offer FREE lifeguard certification for those eligible.
