In North Liberty we used to do if you take the lifeguard class through us and work X amount of hours between Memorial day and Labor day you’re reimbursed for the cost of the lifeguard class. This worked well and I never had any trouble getting lifeguards. With covid this past spring we hired our lifeguards and then certified them in house at no cost to them. We will probably continue hiring and certifying in house at no cost moving forward.
