Hire a lifeguard
PRACTICAL TIPS: Are you familiar with the required certifications for your facility lifeguards? Before recruiting, please take notice of the current regulations by following these links:
- Operator’s responsibilities: the lifeguard (Régie du bâtiment du Québec, in French only)
- Regulation respecting safety in public baths (LégisQuébec - RSBP, B-1.1, r.11). See sections 26 to 28 for pools, sections 48 to 50 for beaches and schedules 3, 4 and 6.
- For any assistance in the operation of your facility, please contact Vincent Dupas by email at vdupas@sauvetage.qc.ca to know more about our consulting services (billable).
The Lifesaving Society offers three services to facilitate the recruitment of lifeguards and assistant-lifeguards.
