You need to have lots of experience from what I've been hearing, one of my roomate's friends is a lifeguard, and some of my roomates were lifeguards back home, and didn't get that role. They usually work 12/10 hour shifts

The lifeguards here train through Ellis, and the program is supposed to be pretty tough. Even if you have all the certifications before arriving, you still have to go through the Ellis course here.

Are you able to still able to snag a lifegaurd role with no prior experience?

Disney is hiring lifeguards right now so I don't think it will be too hard to get a position right now.
