Lifeguards – Want an exciting, fast-paced, fulfilling job? A lifeguard position might be right for you. Lifeguards complete a variety of tasks every day at DryTown that include:

In order to apply for one of these positions, you must first complete a Lifeguard Academy class to learn all the skills you will need to work as a lifeguard and receive your Red Cross Lifeguard certification. These classes are held at various times throughout the year. To register for a class, go to www.PlayPalmdale.com and search Lifeguard Academy. Following the completion of the Academy, you will complete the job interview process. Lifeguards are managed by our Aquatics Team. This is a great position for those of you who love to swim or are interested in pursuing a career in first-aid, medical response or law enforcement.
Program Leaders – Ensure a fun, smooth and safe guest experience. Some job duties include working the main gate, cleaning up the concessions area and managing lines at the attractions.
