Many Chicago area park districts are offering bonuses for those who sign up and qualify to become a lifeguard this season.
"I believe, all together, I have about five to seven layers under this," said one lakefront runner.
"We still need lifeguards to be able to open our pool system and we're looking forward to this month being productive with hiring," said Rosa Escareño, Chicago Park District CEO and general superintendent. "Many of them have actually completed the training,' Escareño said."It's now just coming back and completing that paperwork and we think the bonus is a great way to entice them.""We are currently at 74 certified lifeguards and to open up all of our facilities safely we need 160 lifeguards," said Jessica Ramos, Fox Valley Park District aquatics operations manager.
"Our oldest lifeguard right now is 60 years old, so it's not just the young adults that we're looking to hire," Ramos said.
