Sun International invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for their Waterpark Lifeguard – Seasonal Vacancies. These positions are open to candidates who have lifeguard training, strong swimming abilities, and the passion to keep guests safe in a busy waterpark environment. If you enjoy working around water, helping people, and staying alert in high-energy environments, this opportunity could be the perfect seasonal job for you.
This role is all about safety. A waterpark can be a fun and exciting place, but it can also be dangerous if rules are not followed. That is why lifeguards play such an important role. They watch over swimmers, prevent accidents, and respond quickly when someone is in danger.
Working as a lifeguard is not just another job. It is a responsibility that requires focus, quick thinking, and physical strength. Lifeguards are the first line of protection for guests enjoying pools, slides, and other water attractions.
Sun International is looking for people who can stay calm in emergencies and take action immediately when needed. The selected candidates will work under the Waterpark Lifeguard Supervisor and will also go through waterpark training to make sure they follow company rules and safety procedures.
This job is ideal for individuals who enjoy working outdoors, interacting with people, and staying active during their workday.
Lifeguards are responsible for making sure every guest enjoys the waterpark safely. Their job involves constant monitoring of pools and attractions to prevent accidents before they happen.

Lifeguards must carefully observe swimmers and guests at all times. They need to quickly notice when someone may be struggling in the water.
If a guest is in danger, the lifeguard must act quickly and use the correct rescue technique to bring the person to safety.
Lifeguards are trained to provide First Aid and CPR when someone gets injured or stops breathing. Quick action can help save lives.
After providing first aid, lifeguards must monitor the injured guest and make sure their condition improves until further help arrives.
One of the biggest parts of the job is stopping accidents before they happen. Lifeguards remove hazards and warn guests about unsafe behaviour.
Guests are often reminded about waterpark rules to help prevent injuries. Lifeguards explain safety rules and encourage responsible behaviour.
Some parts of the waterpark are more dangerous than others. Lifeguards pay special attention to slides, deep pools, and blind spots where accidents are more likely to happen.
Lifeguards must record incidents and follow standard operating procedures when reporting injuries or guest complaints.
Waterpark lifeguards are trained to respond quickly to emergencies using specific codes. These codes help staff communicate clearly and act fast.

Code 2 – Severe Injury
The lifeguard must request assistance and provide first aid until help arrives.
Code 3 – Guest Complaint
