To save anyone a click -- people who can't currently swim are allowed to apply. The city will then offer free lessons and instruction, and the people will still need to test into the lifeguard program.
Now, I have NO IDEA if it's reasonably possible to teach a non-swimmer how to swim well enough in 4 months that they can be a lifeguard. My guess would be no, but I don't know.

Depending on how much pool time they get and their general fitness? Ya it's plausible, they're just pulling someone to the side of a pool in summer, no current, waves or major challenges.

Wouldn’t it just be easier to give them a long pole with a sharp hook and grab the drowners by the swim suit and just yank ‘em out to the side of the pool? /s
