Blended Learning Lifeguard Review GHPM Employees Only

 LIFEGUARD REVIEW

This class is for people who have been lifeguards previously and have a certification that is due to expire soon. 

Dear GHPM Employees, 

We are so excited that you’ll be joining us for the summer of 2023. As part of the qualification for this position, you will take part in a two step lifeguard training. Step one will be completed on your computer home, and step two will consist of a two day in person training at a pool location that will be provided to you upon your completion of step one. Step Two will be provided to you once you send verification of completing Step One.

STEP ONE: This is the Blended Learning portion of the class that will be completed on your computer. The class takes approximately 7 hours. You do not need to complete it all at once. Your information will be saved as you go so that you can take the class over a few days if necessary. Once you register for Blended Learning on our website, you will receive a confirmation registration email with attached instructions for the Blended Learning portion. After you have completed the course, you will be able to print a CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION. It is very important that you take a picture of it and email it to Jennifer at jenniferm@greaterhoustonpool.com . Once we receive your certificate of completion, we will contact you and provide you with the information for Step Two. 

The total cost for the entire Lifeguard Certification is between $150.00 and $175.00 (the sooner you take your class, the lower the cost) and for those only needing the Lifeguard Review (current Lifeguard Certification that expires this year) the cost is $75.00. If this is too much for you to pay immediately, we do have a program to help you. You have the option of putting $50.00 down, and then the remaining balance can be restructured. If you would like to participate in a restructured payment plan, please text Jennifer at 281-881-6272 or email her at jenniferm@greaterhoustonpool.com , and she will help you register. We genuinely want to help you out in anyway that we can, and we are so grateful that you want to be a part of the GHPM team!

STEP TWO: OPERATIONS TRAINING: Will take place from 8:00am-9:00am on both in-person training days.

During this training, GHPM lifeguards will learn how to test pool water, brush the pool walls, vacuum the pool, positively interact with patrons of all ages, learn how to clean bathrooms, fill out necessary daily paperwork, learn the basics of the pump room and how to troubleshoot, learn how to backwash, discuss company policies and special weather and safety situations, go over our clock in and out system, discuss our scheduling system, and go over our in-service schedule while discussing the importance of continued education as a lifeguard. Providing all of this important information will help make you an outstanding Greater Houston Pool Management employee. 

After the Operations Training each day, the rest of the course consists of the pre-course skill test. Of course, you will need a swim suit. It is recommended that females wear a one piece. It is easier to do the skills in a one piece suit. Also, bring a towel, sunscreen, water, LUNCH, snacks and a change of clothes. In addition, you will complete the First Aid, Blood-borne Pathogens, and CPR portions of the Lifeguard Course and the in water rescue portion of the class. 

We are EXCITED that we can provide you with a fun job this summer that will in turn provide you with an income. Please reach out to us if you have any questions. Welcome to the GHPM Team!
