BECOME A LIFEGUARD–NOW HIRING!

Be part of a fantastic team, make a community impact and possibly save a life.

TO SWIM 10 LEARN New, streamlined program designed to progressively develop swimmers who are ready for a life in and around the water.


LEARN TO SWIM: TODDLER/YOUTH ABOUT LEARN TO SWIM Learn to Swim at the Town of Castle Rock is designed to progressively develop swimmers who are ready for a life in and around the water. To accomplish this, the program is set up in four phases. Because we understand not everyone starts their swimming adventure at the same age, we have also created two age-related tracks to group the swimmers with peers around the same age.

STAFF

Parent Tot is designed to help children, and their guardians, feel comfortable in the water. Through play and smiles, the littles are able to learn and associate pool time as fun time!

LEARN TO SWIM LearnToSwim@CRgov.com, 720-733-2283 CPR AND LIFEGUARDING TRAINING Certifications@CRgov.com, 720-733-4489

Our Fundamentals phase is designed to teach coordinated movement in the water, as well as water safety. Swimmers who complete the fundamentals will have learned the basics of moving through the water effectively and comfortably.

OUTDOOR POOL INFORMATION CRgov.com/OutdoorPools

Stroke Development swimmers are ready to put their skills to work learning the basic freestyle (front crawl) and back strokes. Skills learned also include the ground work for more specified strokes such as breaststroke and butterfly.

CERTIFICATIONS LIFEGUARD CERTIFICATION CLASS Lifeguard Training Class prepares participants for work as professional lifeguards. To participate, swimmers must be able to complete a 300-yard swim test utilizing front crawl and breaststroke, tread water for two minutes non-stop using kick only (no arms or hands), retrieve a 10-pound brick from 10-feet deep and return across the 20-yard pool in 1 minute 40 seconds using kick only. Successful completion of the course does not guarantee employment with the Town.

NOW HIRING Castle Rock Parks and Recreation is seeking dedicated lifeguards and swim instructors. Passionate about swimming? Consider joining our team and working in a fun environment. If certified through the Town of Castle Rock, and have taken the class within the last six months, the certification is reimbursed after three months of employment.

The blended learning link will be emailed one week before the class starts. In-person classes are offered the second weekend of every month. For more information go to CRgov.com/Lifeguard.

CELEBRATING 15 YEARS STRONG In 2008, Adopt-A-Park/Trail/Open Space was rebranded to Parks, Open Space, Trails (POST) Partners. The program was restructured to be an all-inclusive volunteer program to align program mission, vision and benefits while accommodating a change in the volunteer inquiries that ranged from individuals wishing to collect litter, build bluebird boxes, participate in trail restoration or construction projects, community work days, adopt a park, open space or trail. Individuals and groups can choose opportunities based on their needs and abilities. • POST Partners is an all-inclusive volunteer program • Started in 2008 with eight groups, POST Partners has grown to over 50 groups • Colorado Bluebird Project started with 23 boxes and three volunteers in 2008 and has grown to over 200 nest boxes and 100 volunteers • In 15 years, 70 scouts worked with POST Partners to earn their Eagle Rank • Today, we have three loyal trail maintenance groups that maintain over 100 miles of trails • Over 1,000 volunteers donated their time, over 550 bags of trash picked up and over 115 volunteer opportunities in 2022 • Currently have 46 locally sponsored dog waste stations • Each year we have 25 local tree sponsors for Festival of Trees Volunteers add spark and fire to any project they tackle. Their life experiences, coupled with their unfailing enthusiasm, add that little extra something to help create a sense of community. Volunteers don't just pick up trash; they also help plant trees, monitor wildlife, assist in trail restoration or construction projects, adopt a specific park, open space or trail, or donate items to assist with these projects. POST Partners helps increase awareness of the Town's parks, open space and trails and the activities held in them TRAIL MAINTENANCE GROUPS The POST Partners Volunteer Program organizes three trail maintenance groups. Consistent volunteer crew leaders are needed. Interested in being a crew leader for Castle Rock? We pay for your training.
