City of Pleasanton: Aquatics

Gain hands on experience working with children as you assist our swim instructors in teaching swim lessons! Summer swim lessons consist of either 8-day sessions (M-Th) or daily Saturday lessons. We highly recommend the commitment to a full session of 8-days for Junior Instructors to benefit the swimmers, instructors, and volunteers. Saturday lessons are daily and do not require a consistent commitment. 

All new volunteers must attend an orientation. There will also be a training date within the first week of June, which applicants will be informed of as it's closer. 15+ year olds are eligible to apply for a job and/or register for the Water Safety Instructor course found in the Spring/Summer Activities Guide or PleasantonFun.com.

Volunteers must be at least 12 years old for this opportunity! 

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Aquatics! The Dolores Bengtson Aquatic Center is Pleasanton’s premiere aquatic facility. It features a 50-meter Olympic size pool, a shallow pool with an attached water slide, and a 25-meter ‘L-shaped’ lap pool with an attached diving well which has two 1-meter diving boards. The aquatic center offers year-round lap swim and water exercise programs and seasonal recreation swim and American Red Cross swim lessons.

Applications for the 2026 Season are due Wednesday, April 15, 2026!
