Tuition + Reimbursements:

For those who gain lifeguard certification and are hired by MORTON'S WARM SPRINGS: for every seasonal contract completed, one year of training fees are reimbursed. As this is a 2-year American Red Cross certification, this means that this training is completely paid for all those completing two seasons at Morton's. Morton's guards in good standing who return for a third season and beyond have all of their Lifeguard renewal certification fees paid fully up front.
