In "Stranger Things" season 3 where did Billy work?

In "Stranger Things" season 3, Billy worked as a lifeguard at Hawkins Community Pool. The job places him at the center of the season’s sunny summer setting, where his confident poolside persona attracts attention from Hawkins residents, including Karen Wheeler.

Season 3 takes place during the summer of 1985, a period when Billy is working at the public pool while his stepsister Max remains wary of his aggressive behavior. His pool job also introduces Heather Holloway, another lifeguard who becomes important to the Mind Flayer’s plot. Billy’s ordinary employment quickly becomes connected to the supernatural danger spreading through Hawkins.

A common mix-up is identifying Billy as a pool manager or simply saying he worked at the Hawkins sports center. His specific role was lifeguard, and the location is the Hawkins Community Pool. The pool scenes also deliberately evoke the heightened, nostalgic summer atmosphere that defines much of the season’s visual style.
