What is my next step?
Can I choose my pool?
Yes, you can choose your pool. However, please remember three company policies regarding pool location:
Can I work at my neighborhood pool?
This depends upon what restrictions your homeowners association has regarding residents working at the pool. Some allow residents to lifeguard, while others do not.
What are the requirements for a lifeguard training class and what all does it include?
The course training includes: Lifeguarding, CPR for the Professional Rescuer, First Aid, Automated External Defibrillation (AED), and Preventing Disease Transmission (PDT).
How much is the certification class?
Price varies depending on time of year. It is important to try and sign up for the earlier classes; however, classes are held through the end of July. Please visit the Employee News section of the website for a listing of class dates, times, and pricing.
Am I required to pay for all trainings?
The only training that has a required payment is the certification training. All other trainings are not paid for by the employee.
Do you provide payment plans for certification classes?
Normally, payment plans are not provided. We require payment prior to the first day of class. If you have a special circumstance where you would like to discuss a payment plan, please e-mail the Human Resource Department. We will look at this on a case by case basis. Certification cards will not be provided until entire payment has been received.
Can I come on non-scheduled uniform pick up days to purchase a uniform?
GHPM has scheduled uniform pick-up days. On these dates, uniforms are available to try on. If you cannot pick up your uniform on the dates requested, you will need to contact the Human Resource Department. Uniforms will not be available to try on, so please make sure you know what size you are going to need.
What forms of payment do you accept?
GHPM accepts cash, moneyorders, and checks. Credit card payments are only accepted online through paypal. Please have checks and moneyorders made out to Greater Houston Pool Management or GHPM.
What is the Company Orientation and when I do need to attend?
The Company Orientation is a mandatory online training that must be completed before you can begin working.
