The City of Nome Parks & Recreation Department is holding Lifeguard Tryouts this Thursday, August 6, from 5:30 – 6:30 PM at the City of Nome Pool at Nome-Beltz.

Red Cross Lifeguard Prerequisites
Candidates must complete all three of the following before starting the class:

- Timed event: swim 20 yards, surface dive 7–10 ft to retrieve a 10-lb object, return 20 yards, and exit the water — all within 1 minute 40 seconds
