LIFEGUARDS Needed for SUMMER and FALL 2013!

Are you a certified lifeguard that loves working around the water? If so, then why not consider applying to be a Penn State Lifeguard and get paid to do what you love! Lifeguards start at $8.25/hr.

Interested in taking a lifeguarding class to become a certified lifeguard? Enroll in our Lifeguarding class June 12-16, just in time for a summer job!

Penn State lifeguards have been featured in the American Red Cross lifeguarding videos as well as in the internationally-recognized video "The Five Minute Scanning Strategy".

You don't even have to be a PSU student to be a Penn State lifeguard. We have hired high school students from State College and Bellefonte, so if you think you are up for the challenge and believe that you have what it takes to join our team, then why not download the application packet from our "Employment" page and apply today!

Outdoor Pool Anticipated Opening

The Outdoor Pool filtration project is on schedule. Assuming our pool pump arrives on time and we have no unexpected challenges with the remainder of the install, our hope is to open the Outdoor Pool on Saturday, May 25th in time for Memorial Day Weekend.

Please stay tuned for additional developments, as construction is scheduled up through Friday, May 24th. Thus there is a chance that the opening may be delayed.

Natatorium Projects and Summer Construction

This spring and summer, the McCoy Natatorium will undergo renovations designed to increase security, to improve energy conservation by replacing single-pane windows, to remove asbestos tile, and to provide more green space in the West Plaza (main entrance).

* Beginning April 28th, the Natatorium hallways and office spaces will be retiled and/or recarpeted. This project is expected to finish by mid-August. Please pardon our appearance during this renovation.

* Beginning May 6th, the front plaza will be under construction. The main entrance will remain open as long as possible, but will at some point have to be closed to accommodate construction. The lower entrance from the back parking lot will be used for much of the summer.

* The Parking Lot behind the Natatorium will be closed and reserved for construction/service vehicles. Only the one ADA spot will remain open, for those with the appropriate Penn State parking placards. Visitors to the Natatorium are encouraged to park in the East Deck and follow directional signs to the lower entrance near the outdoor pool.

* Security card readers, alarms and cameras will be mounted throughout the Natatorium. Locker rooms and entrances at a future date will require swipe card access at certain times of the day. More information on how this will work will be made available as details are worked out.

We thank you for your understanding during the construction.
