Read about being an EARC Lifeguard: EARC Lifeguard Job Description  

EARC prides itself on providing a welcoming atmosphere for our members, their guests, and our staff.  If you are interested in joining the 2026 EARC staff team and have questions before applying, please email us at HR@earcpool.com.

We balance our compensation rates based upon a combination of “the going rate in the area” as well as the knowledge that our private, limited membership/capacity makes for a more consistent and calm work experience versus other pools.

 The minimum age for lifeguard employment in NC is 15 years old – please be of this age on or before May 15th 2026. 

Parents, please do not contact on behalf of your child.  We take into account your child’s ability to advocate for themselves and complete the application process in our determination for potential employment. Your child needs to reach out and carry out all aspects of the hiring process independently.

For the 2026 season, the pay rate for guards are between $14.00 and $18.00 depending upon level of experience, hired role, and responsibility (wages for more experienced guards and management will fall between this range and will be determined upon employment).  

We will be onboarding employees and their tax documents electronically this year so please only fill out the application and/or email HR@earcpool.com if you have any preliminary questions before applying.
