City seeking lifeguards, swim instructors and support staff

Complete job descriptions and applications are now available at www.prcity.com/278/Aquatics. The application deadline is April 12, 2021.
“We’re so excited that we’re able to offer swim lessons, aquafit classes, and lap swimming this summer; due to current restrictions, we will not be providing public swim this year,” said recreation manager Lynda Plescia. “We are planning to open both pools Monday through Friday, June 21 through Aug. 13. We’re looking forward to adding new members to our awesome summer staff, and happy to be able to offer great summer jobs for young people in Paso Robles.”
