The City of Dubuque is still seeking lifeguards for the 2023 municipal pool season. An online announcement states that 34 lifeguards have been hired for the season, but 70 or 80 lifeguards are needed to open both municipal pools. The city only opened just one pool last summer due to staffing issues. First-year lifeguards will be paid $15 per hour, with returning lifeguards paid $17 per hour. Applicants must be at least 15 years old. Training is provided and consists of virtual and in-person sessions.
