Dude i'm 65 need it for stunt safety on a movie . having the course is a must . can i do this ? decent in the water ?

We did this at inservice last night

With my cert, if we don’t get enough training in a month we have to do “rectification” and I think it will have all of these tests. There’s a spinal, deep water extrication, baby choking, etc

If you’re not passionate about your job, it’s gonna show up in your performance. Basically, you have to really know what you’re getting into.

the 400m is gonna kill me, i did 450 for the medallion pre test and now i have my cross pre test coming up, then my NL pre test. my stamina is not good at that length but i’ll pull through 🙏🙏

Personally my advice is to do something you know you love.

bronze medallion is 10 pound brick, 400m swim in under 12 minutes, bronze cross is 10 pound brick, 400m swim in under 12 or 10, ion remember. the brick test is really easy, but my endurance is fucking terrible. i’ve got covid and i have to do my second 400m swim next week idk how i’m gonna make it, imma try n get in the pool soon but cant till im not sick. the first time i did the 400m i was running on empty by the second lap with 6 more to go. fuckin sucked

Thanks for this. Thinking bout taking the test next month

I’m 68. I had job for many years I didn’t really like but paid well. Spent my vacation time doing things I loved. Search and rescue ( K9 handler). Adventure racing, running races. Retired now and am life guarding and teaching swimming lessons in my spare time. Volunteering three times a week teaching second graders water safety at the local YMCA. Church and god focused. No worries about money due to savings from the high paying job. So far my life has worked out pretty well….

I was i no like my lifegurd job i working together with students .Phone is much important and not watching pool. And i stressing all day. If you one day visit hungary you see that 👍🏻

Hey Adam! I notice you wear a gold chain most of the time, and I was wondering if you wear it while in the water/whelifeguarding. Do you think its fine to keep it on even when in chlorine water, or should I take it off?

Hi, I am taking my pretest tomorrow. I never had lifeguard training. I have a had a pool my whole life and I do know how to swim but I do not have any time to practice before I take my test. I am slightly out of shape but I am in soccer right now. I am not sure if I will even make it for the 150m swim. help.

yea so i took the test yesterday and failed now i have to retake the test tommorow. i know how to swim and tread water but my body has absolutely no buoyancy so i had to push as hard as i possibly could with my legs to keep my head above the water. only lasted 32 seconds after the swim 😢

yo big fan of your work keep it up!

I am working my way towards being a frog man in our marine corp. I can swim 1k no problem but sucked at keeping my head above the surface when treading water, and I heard they like to fuck the students up by telling them to tread water with all sorts of bs, so I am trying to get this off my list now.

ugh im debating on if I should go into tattooing(im worried ill flop) or if I should find some rebound career, I just can't think of anything id be sick of immediately

When I tried my brick test, not only was the brick not even close to where my instructed said it would be but I can’t even swim to the bottom, I get like 2 feet from the bottom of the pool and I feel like I’m going to drown ☹️

HOW IS HE FLOATING WITHOUT SKULLYING😭😭😭😭😭

I tried to get recertified last week but I failed my written test, I got the actual stuff like being ready for the pool training and cpr ready but written test can be tricky, gonna try again in a few weeks, your video was helpful so thank you.

Hey man, was debating if I should invest the time and effort to becoming a lifeguard and you have given me all the clarity I needed. Thanks for making this video!

I heard in another video of yours that your first lifeguarding job was at the YMCA? How was it? I ask this because I’m starting the same job in two days.

Do you have any videos of the swim tests? Doing the waterfront cert this fall and just wanna make sure im doing the dive ring portion correctly

I have an interview one day from now and im stressing that my answers wont satisfy the manager😭

Would the way you held the brick apply if you had 20lbs instead of 10lbs 🙃

Good advice. Thanks adam

We had learned to say 1 and 2 and 3 and so on

Do you give certificates after your online training?

Love your tips .

Nice I pass my National Lifeguard course last weekend

i take my life guarding interview tomorrow, my first one ever! i’ve been watching a lot of your videos the past couple days and im honestly scared they might ask me to do the brick, it’s the one thing i struggle most with!

A few months ago I was literally watching so many of your lifeguarding videos and now your doing college videos. Idk why but it seems weird. Kind of a random shift but love ur videos.

I recently did my bronze medaline writen test how much percentage u need to pass in Ontario ?

OMG! look so easy, but I keep trying always sinking 😂

Is the written exam multiple choice?

course starts in 2 days its over

Thank you

I am on my way to the navy, and I will need to tread water and hold a brick over my head for I don't even know how long. You might have just made this a lot easier and less panic inducing for me. Thank you so much ❤

Your skin looks so shiny bro😮✨

Your videos helped me last year. I was a beginner swimmer and I had the urge in me to become a lifeguard, although I was bad at swimming. I practiced everyday, each day I got better. I failed the lifeguard test twice but I pushed myself to not give up. I am currently lifeguarding and I’ve made my first rescue this summer. For those who are in the same situation, don’t give up regardless in any circumstances. Thank you Adam!

NASA county test tomorrow, I told you when I had my CPR+AED class and I passed that and you responded! Wish me luck!

Just you going out to the centre of the pool, I don’t float like that. I’d be on the bottom in 1 second.

Sounds good taking lifeguarding course this weekends thanks for all the videos

This is amazing advice, thank you so much, moving in next week

A profound well put rant

Hi Adam, I need to do this for the competency test for one of the jobs I've applied. I need to do timed throw rescue and swimming with it behind my feet. In my NPLQ course, I always get the long rope tied to my leg midway when freestyling so it slows the time and gone quite a bit past a minute. Can you give some tips on how to not get legs tangled up when kicking?

Ty

this was helpful bc something i struggle with is communication and multitasking so thank you

I’m taking the class in two weeks but still struggle with keeping my chin out of the water when treading. I’ve read that those that are dense have a harder time. I am a weight lifter and lift 4 times a week. Any tips?

Im taking my course today and im really nervous for the endurance swim your videos have helped me gained confidence thank you!
