Fun

this was a simple work environment, giving you the opportunity for a flexible schedule and exposure to children if you are interested in any sort of child care routes for a future career

Good work for students

Lifeguard/Swim Instructor (Former Employee) - Abbotsford Recreation Center - 16 December 2018

I worked for the pool, it's a great job if you're in school or if you want some extra hours and have another job. It isn't that great if you do it full time as advancement and management isn't as optimized as other city pools (from what I know at-least). Overall, the pay is good and it's pretty chill as long as you show up and are decent.

Pros

Relaxed culture

Cons

Management/supervision not optimized

Casual, fun workplace

Lifeguard/Water Safety Instructor (Current Employee) - Abbotsford, BC - 11 June 2018

Good place to work especially during high school and university. I would highly recommend lifeguarding for Abbotsford as a temporary job, however there is little to no room for advancement.
