End of season splash at Tinwald Pool
Tinwald Community Pool will open Friday to Sunday afternoons for the rest of summer, ending the season with a free swim from 1-6pm on Sunday, 5 March.
The free swim and longer hours align with a Children’s Day event being held in the Tinwald Domain that same day.
“We’re putting in every effort to staff the pool on weekends and support the Children’s Day event”, said Sarah Mosley, Group Manager People and Facilities.
On Fridays for the rest of the season the pool will be open from 4-7pm, and on Saturdays and Sundays it will open from 2-5pm. Mondays to Thursdays the pool will be closed, and from Monday, 6 March the Tinwald Community Pool will be closed for the season.
The Tinwald pool is staffed by the Council's EA Networks Centre based team, and they are seeking new part-time lifeguards to join them. “Our lifeguard team consists of six full-time permanent staff and 14 part-time employees with hours that vary between 4 to 30 hours every week depending on their other commitments”, said Ms. Mosley.
“If people are interested in a lifeguard position but are unsure about whether they can meet the requirements, we’re always happy to arrange a time to answer questions or conduct a no-obligation swim assessment.”
Lifeguards receive full on the job training and can continue to expand their knowledge to gain NZQA level 3-5 qualifications. Applicants need to be 16 years or older, physically fit to pass the swim test (8 lengths in under 6 minutes), be willing to hold a first aid certificate and enjoy working as part of a team. A vaccine pass is not required.
