Lifeguards love what they do and make a difference in the lives of hundreds of people of all ages. Here in Boynton Beach, Florida, making that difference can happen twelve months out of the year!
Most lifeguards started out as children learning to swim at their municipal pools. The John Denson Pool at Wilson Park is a great place where children can learn the lifelong skill of swimming.
The swim instructors at the City’s Denson Pool are dedicated to educating and protecting young swimmers. They help anxious parents experience the breakthrough moment that proves their child is on his or her way to learning to swim. They help others turn trepidation to laughter and delight when they learn that they can be safe in the pool. Whatever obstacles people face, lifeguards help new swimmers of all ages learn to be confident in the water.
Once mastered, swimming is a lifelong skill that benefits individuals in many ways. Becoming a proficient swimmer means feeling safe and comfortable while using the pool to stay fit, enjoy leisure time and participate in recreation programs.
Swimming skills may also become the fun and rewarding first job of an older teen. One that beats flipping burgers or working behind a cash register! Lifeguards prevent accidents, respond to emergencies and save lives while they earn a pay check!
The staff at Denson Pool invites newcomers to stop by the pool and watch swim lessons, the swim team or the water fitness classes. Just watching can inspire non-swimmers to sign up for a class or program that will bring years of joy and a skill that can keep them healthy and safe!
