Area lakes and pools need lifeguards. Here's a course to get you certified, and if you take a job in the Village of Cooperstown for Fairy Spring or Three Mile Point, the Cooperstown Friends of the Parks will pay the fee for the lifeguard course.

And, the Village is also looking for caretakers for Three Mile Point if you want to live on the lake and make everyone's summer safe and happy.

Not all summer jobs come with waterfront views. 🌊

Our American Red Cross Blended Learning Lifeguard Course with Waterfront certification begins June 2 at the Clark Sports Center.

Registration and payment must be completed by this Friday, May 29. Participants must be 15+.

Classes meet Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday evenings from 5:00–8:00PM through June 18. Scholarships through Friends of the Parks are available to help offset the cost.

Call (607) 547-2800 ext. 117 or visit clarksportscenter.com for prerequisites and more information.
