Sea Isle City is looking to hire lifeguards for the summer at a starting pay of $18.40 per hour.
The city has begun advertising on social media for lifeguard candidates under the headline, “We Want You!”
The test for prospective lifeguards will be given Saturday, June 7, and Sunday, June 8. Candidates should report to Beach Patrol headquarters at 44th Street and the Promenade between 8:45 a.m. and 9 a.m.
The Saturday morning, June 7, segment of the tryout will include a mile run on the Promenade and a half mile ocean swim with a rescue torpedo.
The Saturday afternoon portion will consist of a personal interview for applicants who meet Beach Patrol qualification standards in the run and swim.
Candidates still being considered after the interview will be timed in a 500-meter (550 yards) pool swim Sunday morning, June 8.
The final element of testing will be a simulated surf rescue. The surf rescue will consist of a 220-yard run along the beach, a sprint through the surf, and a 20-yard swim to a flag.
