I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Hanover, MA) in Feb 2010
Interview
They asked pretty standard interview questions. There was a swim evaluation to determine your skill level and also some basic rescues. Nothing too difficult if you took the course. I had to provide my certificated and demonstrate first aid as well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you responsible enough to have someone else's life in your hands?
Easy, asks relevant questions. Casual, you should know the job and be ready to show up early and take it seriously. You’ll be the best at the job if you just do that.
Couple of behavioral / skill questions related to the training classes. Know all the types of saves and when to perform them. Also, know how to answer situational changes. 1 short interview with the lead Aquatics director. Offer next day

Question 1
What would you do if a child was unconscious on the pool deck?
Interviewing can be nerve-wracking, but preparation builds confidence. Research the company, practice answers, and dress professionally. Stay calm, listen carefully, and ask thoughtful questions to show genuine interest and enthusiasm.
