Lifeguard Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, As a Lifeguard with hands-on experience on busy beaches and inland rescues, I’ve seen the impact of solid water safety and calm, clear leadership up close. Your need for a Lifeguard to uphold safety standards and educate the public aligns with my record at [Previous Company], where I helped maintain a watchful coast and a well-informed patrolling mindset. My daily focus centres on water safety knowledge, rescue techniques, and clear communication with the public. I’m comfortable coordinating with teams, conducting risk assessments, and stepping in quickly during emergencies. I’ve also run short safety briefings for beachgoers and visitors, helping people understand how to enjoy the water responsibly and why lifeguards are watching out. One shift stands out: a crowded afternoon when a rip caused a panicked response near a popular swim zone. I kept sight of all swimmers, issued a calm broadcast, and began a controlled rescue with back-up from my team. We evacuated the area, treated one swimmer for minor exhaustion, and logged the incident for a debrief. The scene ran smooth, and feedback from staff and the public was positive about the communication and teamwork. I’m available for a chat about how my practical experience and steady approach can support [Company Name] in the Lifeguard role. I can meet for a coffee or a quick call to discuss next steps. Kind regards, [Your Name]
