For current members of our SPMC staff, this page serves as a place for resources and updates. If you have questions about your lifeguard uniform, our pay schedule, or need to fill out a report form, these lifeguard resources are for you! Review the information below, and if you have any further questions, please reach out to a member of the Staffing Management Team.
Availability, Shifts, Time Clock, and Communications
SPMC uses DigiQuatics for scheduling, time keeping, reports and communications. Digi can be accessed via any web browser on a desktop or mobile device, but all SPMC employees must download Digi to their mobile phones. SPMC Staffing Team will send you a welcome message from DigiQuatics to get you started with the app after you have been hired.
After downloading the app, you will use it to submit monthly availability (due by the 15th day of the month prior), check assigned shifts and any open shifts you would like to pick up, clock in and out of work, and receive staff-wide communications about orientations, in-service trainings, open shifts, etc.
Once you are assigned to a scheduled shift, you are responsible for the shift. If you are not able to work your assigned shift, it is your responsibility to find a sub. Failure to show up for a shift or find a sub may result in a write-up or termination. Pool schedules are continually updated, so you should check Digi on a regular basis.
Follow these steps to access the app and learn how to navigate Digi:
- Add the DigiQuatics app to your mobile phone:

Compensation Timetable
Your paycheck is issued on a bi-weekly basis on Fridays. The pay period is for the two weeks prior to payday. As an example, for a pay day of June 16, that payment will cover all hours worked for the period May 27 through June 10. If you did not sign up for Direct Deposit, you must come to the office to pick up your check. It is highly recommended that you register for Direct Deposit so that you receive your pay as soon as possible. You can view your paystubs at Paychex online by clicking the button below. View instructions on how to create your Paychex account here.

Your lifeguard uniform consists of the following:
You will purchase your SPMC Lifeguard t-shirt from us. T-shirts are available in short sleeve and long sleeve. Tank tops and hoodies are also available in addition to your SPMC T-shirts.

You may choose to purchase your guard uniform and gear from a different vendor, but you MUST wear a navy blue guard suit. No other color options are acceptable for your suit.
