Get Ready to Dive into Summer at Minneapolis' Outdoor Pools!

As the weather warms up, it's time to get back in the swim of things in Minneapolis. The city's outdoor pools are now open for the summer season, including the popular Webber Natural Swimming Pool on the North Side.

The City Park Board recently opened Jim Lupient Water Park in northeast Minneapolis and Webber Natural Swimming Pool, marking the start of a fun-filled summer ahead. Both pools will be open this weekend before shifting to full summer hours on June 8.

In addition to enjoying some sun-kissed fun by the pool, the city is also offering a Lifeguard Training Scholarship Program for individuals who want to learn new skills and make a difference in their community. The program covers the full fee of the course and requires participants to work as lifeguards at Minneapolis' outdoor pools during the entire summer.

To be eligible for the scholarship, applicants must agree to work 4-5 days per week, or 32-48 hours per week, depending on inclement weather conditions. They will also need to successfully complete a pre-course swim test, which includes a 300-yard continuous swim and simulated water rescue requiring a surface dive.

Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive certifications in Lifeguarding/CPR for the Professional Rescuer/First Aid/AED. The course provides the essential training necessary to work as a professional lifeguard at Minneapolis' outdoor pools.

So why not take advantage of this amazing opportunity to learn new skills and make a difference in your community? Apply now for the Lifeguard Training Scholarship Program and get ready to dive into summer at Webber Park Swimming Pool!
