Lifeguard (Season 2026)

Swimming is one of our guests' favorite activities, and as a lifeguard, you will play a crucial role in ensuring their safety and enjoyment in the pool. From enforcing pool rules to engaging in friendly conversations, you will make a positive impact on our guests' holiday experience. You immediately come into action when necessary and perform water rescues or provide first aid. You inspect and maintain safety equipment and keep accurate logbooks of activities and incidents. Of course, you and your colleagues take care of cleaning and tidying up the pool and grounds. This way, guests have a great holiday experience!

Together with the other departments, you make one team. Working at a holiday park requires flexibility. Besides your regular tasks, you also help out in another department when necessary. That way, you discover a lot about the park and can help the guests even better.

A paradise in a historic landscape in the Dordogne, the ‘land of a thousand-and-one castles’, ringed with hilly green valleys. That is 5-star camping RCN le Moulin de la Pique. With a drink on the park’s terrace between the traditional historic buildings and magnolias, enjoying the serene music and the romantic atmosphere. The showpiece at RCN le Moulin de la Pique is Aquapark la Pique, a fabulous waterpark with 4 swimming pools and 3 spectacular water slides.
