dude what city are you from? do you work for the municipal government or privately? you do realise you get paid seperate wages for instructing and guarding. i work with hte city of ottawa and i make 14.50 an hour instructing and 11.50 an hour guarding and for the notorious attending i make 8.75. also arent you unionized? so that means union deductions on your paycheque.

but aside from that...trust me man, from experience in multiple jobs, this is by far the best job you will ever have.

im from toronto and i work in south distict for the municipal government which pays the most out of any area in toronto. i believe i am making like 16 an hour for teachin and 13 for guarding, but it averages out to 15 an hour for the entire nite. and about the union thing i am in a union and i havent really paid attention to the deductions, i dont really care that much anyways, most of my friends are making like 8 an hour so its all good for me

Oh sweetie i'm sorry that wasn't very nice. congratulations, jobs are sweet, money is sweet, and getting chicks because you have money (or a 12 inch dick, in my case) is sweet too. happy hunting little lifeguard.

yea the problem with that is you tend to get lots of old fucks and theyre the ones with highest risk of strokes n shit. the pool i work at is fairly large. it has one 50m pool (with diving towers and many diving boards) and a whole other section with a baby pool, 25m shallow pool and a hottub. it can be fun...yelling at the good lookin girls to jump off the 2nd tower when theyre sketchy...haha memories from the summer...

I work part time and very rarely at a seasonal job in a restaurant. The restaurant is in a huge fancy Guest ranch and we do a ton of functions. I get paid 8.65 and hour... but if you include the tips and gratuities that are automatically put on our paychecks, it rounds out to me making like 20.00 and hour. It's pretty solid. The workplace is awesome in general too, the people are seriously idiots:P The dishguy's b-day was the other night so we gave him a muffdiver at the end of our shift. I didn't know what it was then so of course I was the unofficial volunteer:S

Lifeguarding is a solid job, good money for minimal work.  I teach archery in the summer at a day camp, its a pretty sick deal too.  The best, though, is teaching private ski lessons - $16/hour to ski around with one kid.

Lifeguarding is the best job. 15 is outrageous and if you are telling the truth, which you are not, that is really cool.

Depending on who you work for as a lifeguard, and where you live, you can get paid tons... If it's for the government, or a private facility it'll depend. You can get from minimum wage up to about 25$ an hour.
