Bathing season in Templin endangered: lifeguards urgently wanted!

Templin, Deutschland - The Templin city lake is currently broke and the city pool cannot be used. The reason for this predicament: there is a lack of lifeguards. As Nordkurier , the Stephanus Foundation, which in cooperation with the city of Templin, runs the operation of the city pool, but mostly on additional support dependent. Without new lifeguards, the bathroom will have to be closed this summer.

Last year, the bathing season was secured by cooperation with the Naturtherme Templin, but there is currently no similar solution for 2025. This gives rise to concern, because the Templin Stadtsee is a popular place to relax and leisure activities.

urgently wanted: lifeguard swimmer

The position as a lifeguard*is to be filled in the Boitzenburg region from July to August, whereby working hours are rich from Wednesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. For this purpose, people are looking for people who have a lifeguard badge in silver or gold and have valid first aid training. The requirements for applicants are high: attention, responsibility and the ability to calmly act in stressful situations are crucial. If you are interested, you can report by email or by phone at short notice. Personal discussions in the city pool or at the Stephanus Foundation are also possible, the Job exchange .

What matters

The lifeguards take on a responsible task: they supervise the bathing operation, ensure the safety of the guests and are quickly on hand in an emergency. It is also important to have the necessary knowledge of swimming badges that, among other things, show the skills and knowledge in swimming. A badge in silver, gold or bronze is necessary because the early swimmer badge (seahorse) does not provide evidence of safe swimming. People with only the seahorse must continue to be supervised when swimming, as the dlrg explained.

Here every helping hand is really asked: those responsible call the citizens to pass on the request for support and activate potential candidates. The call for the help aims to keep the city lake and the city pool accessible to the citizens and to lead the security in the top. Because together we can make sure that the bathing season will be a success again this year.
