I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Kelowna, BC) in Sep 2011
Interview
The process was very easy. Sat down and answered some questions about myself and different lifeguarding and first aid scenarios. Typically you are supposed to do a wet interview but I never had to do one. I don't feel that applicants were screened properly before being hired as many of my coworkers I did not feel were competent enough at their jobs.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If a patron came up to you and couldn't find their child what would you do?
Smooth and welcoming. The interaction was positive and conversation flowed nicely throughout. I felt like my answers were being listened to, and that the interviewers were very engaged with me and what I had to say.

Question 1
What my background was and how it would fit into this role
very good. good people there who work there and i like to work there because it is very fun being outside and talking with good people and free popsicles and the interviewer was nice and respectful and all oof that.
The interview process was overall easy. You just need to have your certifications, you need to pass a breathing test, and you need to pass a swim test. Pretty easy interview.
