 I got in touch with some different things and we worked out some contracts and now we have a scholarship that I'm very grateful for and that pays for every one of our lifeguards certificates. Lifeguards who work at the Siloam Springs Family Aquatic Center also tend to come back for the next season. Crandall says that out of the roughly 35 guards on staff each summer, half of them return the following year and then friends of those guards usually fill in the remaining positions.
