Dekko Center In Desperate Need of Lifeguards

Ada, MN — Once a popular, sought-after summer job for teenagers and college students, Lifeguards have been in short supply in recent years. So much so locally that the Dekko Community Center will soon begin cutting back on their open swim hours. Dekko Director Brianna Eggen says with lifeguards heading off to college next month, they will have no certified lifeguards at the facility with the exception of herself and their water aerobics and swim instructor, so that means pool hours will be changing.

While it may seem intimidating, Eggen notes that getting the lifeguard certification is not as difficult as it seems, and the Dekko will do everything they can to help you get the certification.

For more information about becoming a lifeguard, please contact the Dekko Center at 218-784-7665.
