Summer Swim - Call for lifeguards
It’s that time of year again. We are searching for some great lifeguards to help at our outdoor pools this season.
COVID-19 presented us with some interesting challenges last year, but we are optimistic about this summer’s season. Obviously, we will continue to work with the health department to follow all requirements.
Our ability to operate these pools is, in part, directly related to the number of lifeguards we are able to hire. A fully staffed lifeguard crew means longer hours and more days for families to enjoy the pools.
Also, it's the perfect summer job for a student home from college or high school student looking for meaningful summer employment. Pay starts out at $10.50 per hour.
Our newest certification class is underway with four attendees. We are really looking to make a big push during the month of March, when we have three lifeguard classes at the Mary T. Meagher Aquatic Center.
It's important to note that those who enter our lifeguard classes with the intent of working at one of our pools or for Mary. T. will have their fees waived. The lifeguard class is open to anyone who wants to take it, but if they work elsewhere, that fee is $200.
We're looking forward to a fun summer, and thanks in advance for your help and interest in our aquatics program and outdoor pools!

MetroSWAP - A Safe Zone for Online Sellers
Did you just sell an item online and need a place to meet to complete the transaction? Marketplace, Craig's List, and all other online sellers, if you are looking for a public place to exchange your items, look no further than in the parking lot of a police station. Do you share custody of a child and are looking for somewhere to exchange custody? Again, a great place to consider is at a MetroSWAP Zone.
The Louisville Metro Police Department is providing MetroSWAP Zones around the city. These areas are located outside of some of our Divisions. There is 24 hour video surveillance.
Tips for using MetroSWAP:
- Agree to meet the person ONLY at a MetroSWAP station.
- Meet only during daylight hours.
- Tell someone you trust where you are meeting and at what time.
- Meet in the parking lot. There will be two (2) designated parking spots at each location for use.
- Make this interaction brief and to the point.

Be informed about crimes with LMPD's crime mapping website
The Louisville Metro Police Department uses a Crime Mapping website to display crime on a map in Jefferson County. Zoom in to see crimes in an area, or put an address in the address bar at top left to search. You may sign up for auto email alerts for crime around an address. Reports are made available to the public after a process of internal review, often in the same day as the report taken. Due to the nature of some crimes, reports are made available to public upon the completion of a thorough investigation and will be made available as soon as practical.
Or use the crime mapping iPhone app. If you see crime occurring, please contact the Louisville Metro Police Department. Call 911 for emergencies. Call 502-574-7111 for non-emergency related help or to find a towed vehicle. Call 574-LMPD to report crime tips.
Please call the LMPD non-emergency number, instead of sending an email, if you're seeing suspicious activity in your neighborhood. Sending emails to LMPD delays response, and officers need to be dispatched for the activity. These citations continue the nuisance abatement process. The LMPD non-emergency line is 574-7111 or 574-2111
