Interview
Submit application in person; get called in for interview. Most YMCA's will hire you on the spot if they want you. It is an extremely easy interview process. Dress well and show them that you are a responsible human being, and they'll give you the job. (Typically) after you get hired, you'll go through a lifeguard training class (if you're not already certified). Your employment with the Y is contingent on you passing the class. The class is typically 3-4 days. Some Y's make you pay for the class, others will take it out of your first paycheck, and a few will cover the costs for you.
