To be a certified YMCA Lifeguard you must be 16, you also must be 16 to take the lifeguard certification course.
Usually, junior lifeguard at 14, lifeguard at 16, and Water Safety Instructor at 18. Private pools and some municipal pools have their own certification courses and tests. The YMCA's/community pools/beaches usually require Red Cross Lifesaving certification. Most places also want Red Cross First Aid/CPR training as well.
It depends what the requirements are for the place you want to lifeguard at. I am a lifeguard at the local YMCA during the summer. Im 5'8 and 200 pounds.
It depends on a few things... Most of the time if you are already employed you will get paid to take the course. It also depends on what certification you are obtaining. Is it from the Red Cross? The YMCA of the USA? Typically it is around $100-150.

YMCA does not offer a course in fitness training however they do hire fitness trainers and host fitness classes on a regular basis. You would have to contact your YMCA for more details.
