Swim Club Management Group manages several swim clubs and country clubs in Mecklenburg and surrounding counties, including: Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lancaster, Lincoln, Rowan, Union, and York.

Swim Clubs begin opening in May. Prior to Memorial Day weekend, if a swim club is open, it is only operating on the weekends. Once Memorial Day weekend passes the swim clubs are open in the afternoons from 4PM-8PM and weekends only until Public School is out of session (usually the 2ndweek in June).

Once public school is out for the summer, the pools transition into their full-time schedule. Swim Clubs stay open through the month of September.

Once public school goes back into session in August, the pool schedule scales back to afternoon’s and weekends only until Labor Day weekend. After Labor Day, the pool (if open) are only open on the weekends.

We expect ALL employees to work until the end of the September with the exception of the college students who leave for out of town colleges (UNC, NC State, ASU, Clemson, etc.)

Swim Club Management Group offers several options when it comes to the LG uniform. For women, we offer a two-piece bikini or a 1 piece swim suit. For men, we offer LG board shorts. All employees must wear the company’s designated swim suit, NO PERSONAL SWIM SUITS ALLOWED.

On average a shift is 6 hours. Generally, our pools open at 10AM and close at 8PM. Every facility is different! The average morning shift begins at 9:15AM – 3:00PM (or 3:30) and the average afternoon shift is from 3:00PM – 8:45PM. Some of our pools also have a need for a mid-shift; this is usually from 11AM – 6PM.

SCMG does offer a Learn to Swim program at all of our communities. Lifeguards are eligible to teach after completing our Swim Instructor Training course. This course is free of charge but requires completion before teaching. SCMG offers private, semi-private and group swimming lessons.

SCMG takes into consideration your top three Swim Club choices. There are various reasons for placing a lifeguard at one pool vs. another. This is never a personal choice but more based on experience, previous job performance and vacancy.

We understand that summer is a time for vacations. We expect that most of our employees will take time off for vacation during the summer. If you plan on taking MORE than 15 days of vacation during the summer, it must be communicated in writing to the office prior to the beginning of the season. This will allow enough notice to make adjustments with scheduling. If you are taking LESS than 15 days of vacation this should be communicated during your initial meeting with HR and to you pool manager in writing at the beginning of the season.
