Monthly earnings: $200 - $1.5k

Income as a lifeguard can vary based on factors such as location, experience, and the type of facility. Beginners or part-time lifeguards working at community pools or seasonal facilities might earn on the lower end. Those with more experience, certifications, or working at high-end resorts or private clubs can earn more. Earnings also depend on the number of hours worked per week and the demand for lifeguards in the area.
