Become a Lifeguard

Lac La Biche County Aquatics Volunteer Stream

Are you looking for a rewarding opportunity in a fun, supportive environment where you can make a difference in your community? Kick start your career as a lifeguard with the Lac La Biche County Aquatics Volunteer Stream. 

The Lac La Biche County Aquatics team is seeking motivated individuals—whether partially certified or not yet certified—who are interested in pursuing their aquatic certifications. We’re excited to meet individuals who love to swim, love the pool, and want to participate in the Volunteer Stream. 

As a successful Volunteer Stream candidate, you'll receive your lifeguard certification at no cost and become a top candidate for future Lac La Biche Aquatics job opportunities in return for volunteering at Portage Pool. 

What does the process involve?  Candidates will complete a brief in‑water swimming skills assessment followed by an in‑person interview. This helps us determine suitability, long‑term weekday/evening/weekend availability, and potential volunteer commitment.

Lac La Biche County Aquatics will sponsor successful Volunteer Stream applicants through the full Lifeguard/Swim Instructor certification pathway. Sponsorship includes:

  • Bronze Medallion with CPR‑C

  • Bronze Cross with Standard First Aid & CPR‑C

  • National Lifeguard

  • Lifesaving Swim Instructor

This full certification package is valued at $1,000.
