Hello Swimmers, First things first, I wanted to give a big shoutout to our wonderful staff who have been on top of it all this year. They come in every day ready to teach excellent lessons, keep all of us swimmers safe, provide top notch customer service to all who come through our doors and keep the pool and grounds looking spiffy clean. They rock, and if you feel the same, take a moment next time you are at the pool and let them know how you appreciate them. Not only are they skilled lifeguards, but they also know how to put together some mean costumes. Take a look at what they pulled off for the annual staff road rally! Application for Wedgwood Staff 2025 We are now accepting applications for next summer! If you or someone you know is interested in joining this outstanding staff fill out the application and we will be in touch about setting up an interview if you seem like a good fit. We are planning to do a few days of interviews, some before the pool closes and some in early December. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until December 1st, there will be no hiring priority awarded for turning the application in earlier, but it will make you eligible for an earlier interview date. Applications submitted after December 1st will be accepted but will not be considered in the first wave of hiring. 2025 Wedgwood Application Swim-A-Thon for No More Under Wedgwood is hosting a swim-a-thon on September 2nd (Labor Day) from 8:30AM-12PM to support our non-profit partner, No More Under. They are a local nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives through water safety education, legislation, and increasing equitable access to swimming lessons and tools. No More Under’s founder lost her son, Yori, to a drowning accident in 2018. This tragic and preventable death is one which too many families endure. Through her journey of grief, she created No More Under to ensure other families do not endure a similar tragedy. No More Under builds free, equitable, learn-to-swim programs.
