'Our lifeguards are the first line of defence in our drowning prevention efforts over the summer season when thousands of people flock to our facilities. And, while the season ended just recently, work is already under way in preparation for the next. I want to encourage everyone with previous experience, the necessary qualifications and a passion for public safety to submit their applications as soon as possible. This year, we are allocating training slots at our indoor swimming pools and Sea Point pool, so please make use of the opportunity to work with our senior lifeguards and fine-tune those skills for the critical swim and rescue tests,' said Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health, Councillor Francine Higham.

Training slots will be available during selected periods/days at the following swimming pools: Blue Downs, Long Street, Retreat, Strand and Sea Point.

All lifeguard candidates entering the swimming pool for training purposes must have their names on the list provided by the respective Lifesaving Club/NSRI Base and/or must have a Club/Base identification card.

Applicants are advised of the following:

• Only online applications will be accepted. Candidates are required to register for e-recruitment on the City's website and complete the application form before the deadline on 9 June 2025.
• Applicants who have worked in the last season (2024/2025), need not re-apply provided they have completed the Notice of Intention to Work form, but are advised to contact their nearest area office for any enquiries.
