As summer inches closer, the City of Philadelphia has a new partnership with Temple University to beef up its lifeguard roster.

Undergraduate students at Temple University can now earn three credits by spending their summer on a city pool deck.

There are six city pools, one within a mile radius of the North Philadelphia-based campus. Candidates are encouraged to enroll by June 1, which is about a week away.
