Poolside Lifeguard - Permanent Full-time

Join our amazing Team of Lifeguards!

Aquatics Horowhenua opened its doors in 1990 and since then it has been continuously growing and expanding. We offer a variety of activities such as learn to swim, aquacise, fitness training, swim and water sports clubs as well as recreational water fun including inflatables and the hydro slide. It’s easy to understand why our facilities are so popular!

About us.

We are located at the heart of the Horowhenua District, featuring a stunning natural environment on the lower west coast of the North Island, where the mountains meet the sea. Kilometres of unspoilt beaches, forest walks and a hinterland that is rich in both Maori and European history. Horowhenua is blessed with superb natural assets, treasured historical heritage and a thriving cultural life, all within easy reach of New Zealand's capital city Wellington, which is just over an hour drive to the south.

Horowhenua can offer all essential services and sophisticated facilities and at the same time also provides a wealth of quintessential New Zealand experiences from the simple pleasures of a walk along a pristine beach to experiencing life in classic, Kiwi small towns. With about 30,000 residents living between the Tararua Ranges and the Tasman Sea, Horowhenua is the perfect place to live, work and play.
