Yes, it's totally frigid outside, but we can all daydream about diving into a city pool on a hot day.
Driving the news: Austin Parks and Recreation's Aquatic Division is putting out a call for summer lifeguards.
By the numbers: Austin currently has 95 lifeguards on staff — but the Aquatics team needs around 650 to open summer pools for the 2022 swim season, which starts June 3.
Between the lines: Pay starts at $15 per hour, and lifeguards must be at least 15 years old.
What they're saying: "Help spread the word about these great jobs working outdoors and being a hero," the Aquatics Division said in a press release. "Lifeguarding can be the start of a great career in safety and public service."
