Have you thought about a summer job for next year?
The Columbia Association is seeking to hire individuals with a desire to serve the community. The entry-level positions for the Outdoor Pools are that of lifeguard, party coordinator, and lesson instructor.

We are looking for highly motivated, friendly, and outgoing individuals to join our ranks and help continue our tradition of excellence.
We are currently interviewing, recruiting and training for all seasonal and year-round positions. These include:
· Lifeguards |
