More than 100 applicants are expected to try out on Sunday for a job as a seasonal ocean lifeguard, Newport Beach Fire Department officials said.
Applications are due today by 5 p.m., said Jennifer Schulz, a department spokeswoman. Lifeguard hopefuls must compete in both a 1000-meter swim and 1000-meter run-swim-run, she said, and the top finishers will be invited to a training academy.
The tryouts will begin at 8:30 a.m. Sunday morning with a check-in at the Newport Pier, then the swim will begin at 9 a.m. and the swim-run combo will begin about 10 a.m.
The top finishers will be invited to a 125-hour training academy to be held on weekends this spring, Schulz said, and must pass a background check. Starting pay for seasonal ocean lifeguards is $16.76 per hour.
