DURHAM, N.C. — Durham Parks and Recreation is looking for lifeguards to join its team for the summer, and they can be as young as age 16.

Lifeguards earn between $17.99 and $21.56 per hour, according to the city. They typically work between 15 to 20 hours a week.

Candidates must be at least 16 years old and maintain valid American Red Cross certificates in lifeguarding, first aid, CPR and AED or another recognized agency.

More information is on the city's website.
I recently shared details about Raleigh's lifeguard training program for teens ages 15 and up. Durham does not have its own training program, but you can sign up for American Red Cross sessions here.
