Philly Parks and Rec offering bonuses up to $1,000 in lifeguard recruitment effort

Fatal drownings among young children nationally rose 12% from 2020 to 2021, according to a new federal report.

Workers who want to keep an eye on swimmers at Philly pools this summer must register by mid-April to qualify for a $1000 bonus.

The Tiffany Fletcher Recreational Center, formerly Mill Creek, will receive ADA improvements, a computer lab, and a mural depicting the late Parks & Rec employee.
