JOIN THE TEAM!
A great pool is powered by great people! The Avondale Aquatic Center will need lots of amazing staff. New posi- tions will include pool management, lifeguards, instruc- tors, coaches, cashiers, and pool maintenance employees. These are great opportunities for students and seasoned professionals, providing lifelong work skills and leader- ship opportunities. Lifeguard training courses will begin in the early spring of 2024. Join our interest list to stay connected with these exciting opportunities by emailing
