 In another hint that summer may be a return to "normal," Los Angeles County is recruiting lifeguards for the coming season.

LA County Parks is looking for strong swimmers who can maintain a safe environment at park pools and teach swim classes. The job starts at more than $18 per hour with paid training and flexible summer work hours.

Qualified applicants must pass a 500-yard swimming test in 9.5 minutes or less to be eligible. Those hired will participate in an extensive training program.

Pools closed last summer due to COVID-19 restrictions, but are slated to reopen this season, subject to health guidelines.
