I just started working at Y and have been a certified lifeguard and swim instructor since I was 15 and now will be 22 in 2 days. I'm fighting to get 10 an hour. The rest of the guards who seem to be starting out and are like 15-17 years old get less than 8 an hour which is ridiculous. When I started working at 15 at a community center I made 8 an hour starting which is generally base pay for lifeguards at most facilities. Camps sometimes tend to pay a little more, especially if you stick with em for a couple years. So overall, the Y really doesn't pay well ...I mean at least in PA lifeguards are getting like a quarter more than minimum wage which is ridiculous when you think that when I was making 8 an hour in 2004 minimum wage hadn't reached 6 bucks an hour yet. They definitely need to increase their pay, and I'd encourage you to look for other aquatics center or camps that are worth your time. Oh if you're into it and will use it , the Y gives you a free membership so maybe that's a perk for not getting paid so well.
