Employment
The Wildwood Crest Beach Patrol employs roughly 80 lifeguards/staff each summer. This requires an average of 18 new lifeguards per summer. New candidates must pass a prerequisite qualification standard of 250 yard swim in 4 minutes, followed by a 1.5 mile run in 10 minutes. If each standard is met, you may be asked to follow up with an interview with staff members. Test dates begin on the first Saturday in June at the Von Savage pool in Wildwood Crest starting at 8:00 a.m. Please refer to Calendar of Events for other test dates.
Candidates that meet requirements will be invited to a 10-day training camp. The camp will consist of training in first-aid, CPR, AED, and skills such as swimming, paddling, and rowing.
