Seasonal Pool Openings

LIV North would like to give a big shout out to our summer pool staff and our experienced renovation team who have worked tirelessly to open up our customer’s outdoor pools this year. 

While we are well equipped with supplies and products needed to serve our customers, staffing shortages still remains an issue as it continues to plague the entire industry across North America. Our dedicated scheduling and staffing teams have continued to work hard and  creatively develop new models to meet our customers’ needs and enabling residents to enjoy their pools this summer. 

We anticipate that lifeguard staffing will continue to be an ongoing challenge throughout the seasonal industry and, while we will continue to work with all our customers diligently to provide needed staff, another viable option is to consider “right sizing” your large outdoor pool with the Myrtha Pool in a Pool system so that staffing is not required. In addition to solving staffing challenges, the Myrtha pool system enhances your amenity with a modern, new sleek look. Check out a sampling of pools below.

Aquabella at Bayside Condominium is enjoying their Myrtha Pool installed by LIV North Aquatics

The Myrtha pool installed at the Aquabella at Bayside is even more stunning than was depicted in the original renderings of the building and could be one of the nicest pool decks on Toronto’s waterfront. 

The Aquabella pool is the first Myrtha Pool system completed by LIV North Aquatics in the GTA and now that the summer warmth has arrived, this 7th floor outdoor pool is looking brilliant with unmatched views, a well protected patio and lots of sunlight. 

When the pool arrived in a container in late fall it was quickly and easily transported up the elevators and placed on the 7th floor. Installation began with our trained technicians without interrupting the surrounding construction. Main assembly finished off for the winter in December prior to the snow falling. Once the good weather came this spring, the finishing touches were completed to the pool and the surrounding area in time for summer. 

Myrtha Pool Delivery

Special features to this pool are:

  • Hidden Edge Filtration system. 
  • Side wall finish to match the patio tiles
  • A double layered soft bottom for added comfort
  • A guaranteed leak proofing system

Myrtha Pool’s are ideally suited for all elevated decks and high-rise buildings because they have:

  • Myrtha’s guaranteed 2-layered leak proof system
  • Myrtha’s Single Source 25-year warranty on the system and 10-year warranty on the finishes
  • A Lightweight system that is less than 20% the weight of concrete, and less than 50% the weight of traditional stainless steel pools
  • Dramatically reduced installation period, without the need for cranes or disruptions on site
  • Myrtha offers a highly flexible planning and design alternatives that have no limits
  • Customization of finishes, edges, and filtration systems
  • Sustainability – all Myrtha products are valid for contributing to LEEDS
  • Engineered to manage the acoustical performance and reduce vibration related to the pool.
  • Experience – 50+ Years, over 18,000 installations in 72 Countries

Aquabella at Bayside Condominium also has an amazing fitness room designed and installed by LIV North Fitness Division last year.

Seeking Ways to Provide Relief to Ukraine

We are all dismayed by the crisis that is occurring in the Ukraine.  Many of our employees have been asking how we can contribute to support the Ukrainian people. We have found one small way.   

At this time of year, our Aquatics Division is busy preparing our vans for the upcoming summer season. As it happened, it was time to retire some of our vehicles. This year, we found a way to put our retired vans to better use and donate them to the Canadian Red Cross, specifically the Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal.

The process was very simple through an association called Donate A Car Canada. This organization looks after removing the vehicles, auctioning, or scrapping them and donating the proceeds to a chosen charity, in our case, the Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal.

Top 5 Reasons to Lifeguard with LIV North

As we spring into Spring, and look towards summer, we can’t help but get excited for the opening of outdoor pools. These pools openings means we’re looking for lifeguards to join our team. We share our top 5 reasons to lifeguard with LIV North this summer:

1. Responsibility

Nothing tells an employer more about your ability to be responsible than seeing Lifeguard on your resume. Lifeguarding comes with a higher level of responsibility than most jobs, as the primary purpose of the job is to ensure the safety of the facility. Being a guard tells employers that you are able to ensure a completely safe environment by paying attention to detail in every part of a facility.


2. Leadership

As a lifeguard, the swimmers (or sunbathers) who come into the pool area are relying on you to ensure their safety. The vast majority of lifeguarding is “preventative lifeguarding” – stopping situations before they develop – and being a leader is all about being proactive and taking initiative. 


3. Communication/Teamwork

As a guard with LIV North, you are an essential part of a large team, working together to create the most positive experiences for the swimmers we serve. Our team consists of lifeguards, supervisors, service and maintenance technicians, schedulers, and managers who all communicate and work together to ensure the safe and smooth operations of any given facility. Working as a team is a great way to make connections and build positive relationships with the people you work with


4. Flexible Schedules

Being part of a team also allows for flexible schedules. Whether you’re wanting to make the most of your availability this summer, or just want to pick up a shift or two around your summer school schedule, being a Lifeguard at LIV North allows for the flexibility of working with your scheduler to fix work around your schedule. LIV North serves pools all across the GTA and in London, ON, which also means that we are always looking to staff you at a pool that is as close to home as possible.


5. Remaining Healthy and Active

Being a lifeguard outside is a great way to soak up rays and promote healthy active living, while getting paid at the same time. Lifeguarding is not just about the safety of the facility, but providing customer service and making connections with the swimmers. It’s the perfect opportunity to get up from the sofa, desk, or lecture halls and encourage others to continue to do the same! 

Apply now for a summer of fun and discover the possibilities of working with LIV North!
