ENTERPRISE, Ala. (WDNews) — The City of Enterprise Parks and Recreation Department is now accepting applications for lifeguards ahead of the 2026 pool season at the Enterprise Recreation & Aquatics Center.
Head lifeguards will earn $15.52 per hour, while lifeguards will be paid $12.43 per hour. Applicants must be at least 16 years old and hold current First Aid, CPR, and Red Cross lifeguard certifications.
Lifeguards will be responsible for monitoring pool areas, responding to emergencies, enforcing safety rules, inspecting equipment and water quality, and assisting with daily facility setup and cleanup. The city said the positions play a key role in maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for all visitors.
The Enterprise Recreation & Aquatics Center is nearing its one-year anniversary and features a six-lane, 25-yard pool used for lap swimming, lessons, and recreation. A zero-depth entry pool with interactive water features is also available for children. The facility includes two auxiliary buildings that support aquatics operations with concessions, locker rooms, and equipment storage.
City officials noted the outdoor pool quickly became a popular summer destination during its first season. Memberships are available in annual, monthly, and daily options, with discounted rates for active-duty military members and seniors. Children five and under are admitted free. All memberships and program registrations are handled through the city’s RecDesk system.
The 2026 pool season is expected to open in April, and interested applicants are encouraged to apply early due to anticipated demand.
