Job descripton

The employer also offers positions for pool cleaners. If some of your friends want to join you but do not want to work as lifeguards, they can also register. Pool cleaners have a different schedule than lifeguards: they work on 3 shifts (cca 6:30-10am, 12-2pm, after 4pm). They work a minimum of 56 hours/week.

UPDATE: The CPO (Certified Pool Operator) class will be held primarily in Prague (date to be announced), or in Brno if there are enough students from that area (or individually in the USA).

The cost of this course is $390 (first time students – valid for 3 years) or $290 (returning students) — it will be used as a bonus (MINUS $115 for books and class) if a student has no issues all summer (i.e. THEY DON’T LEAVE EARLY, NO CELL PHONE USE, NO LAPTOPS, NO BEING LATE, KEEPING CORRECT CHEMISTRY, NO SLEEPING AT WORK, NO PUSH-UPS OR SIT-UPS INSTEAD OF WATCHING THE POOL, NO SWIMM LESSONS AT THE POOL), they will get $275 back.

The class lasts 3 days, usually from Friday to Sunday.
