I like that little trick at the end, "you guys want 2 more mins in the pool"? BAHAHAH thank god my pool's noodles and equipment are for classes/elderly only. cool little vid, from a fellow lifeguard in Austin, Tx

Haha, it's all about how you sell the idea to kids. That was my favourite trick!
I'm an actual lifeguard, and it is not half as interesting as this. I have to be in a chair for 30 minutes straight in pouring rain, even when nobody is there.
true, my dad was a lifeguard b4, and he told me how long time he had to sit on the chair, and he is always hoping someone to have problems in the pool, so he can get a dip , xHorizon is that true?
Nathan McDonald Id way rather be a beach lifeguard then working at an amusement park wave pool with about 2 million people coming through in a season. If I lived close to a beach I'd be there guarding now.
Very well made and a good representation of a good day as a lifeguard. As a fellow lifeguard I'm happy to see a video like this on YT. Coming in from small town Del Rio, Texas
Love how you actually show the brunt of the work we do😂 everyone shows the saves and the rescues, but everyone skips over the fact that 99% of what we do is yell at people to walk, you only eat one bounce of the diving board, and stop hanging on the divider.
Im guessing because I commented on a news video about a lifeguard yesterday. As a lifeguard I have always wanted to know what a day in the life of a lifeguard was like
he recorded with the camera taped to the mirror (or on a tripod facing him) and masked that layer behind one where he had it recording the mirror... sorry to be the spoiler of fun :)
I love all these people saying they dont like lifeguarding or telling people not to because it pays bad. Yes, it depends on where you work. Yes, it depends on who you work with. But, generally I think it's fun! Over the summer I worked as a lifeguard for a Boy Scout camp in my council. I got trained for free and worked 4 weeks. It wasn't much pay wise but we also got to do a lot more than stare at a pool for hours as well. Honestly, if you love being in the water, freshwater, saltwater, or pool, and you think you can handle the training it takes for it, go for it! (I should also mention that the certification for BSA Lifeguard is the hardest certification you can take as it requires you to be ready for open water emergencies as well as a normal drowning situation, so I had it a little harder than others but still, it's a whole lot of fun!)
I've been a pool, and beach lifeguard. Every job has its positives and negatives, at the end of the day as a lifeguard your job is to keep people safe. I've handled calls as minor as someone needing a bandage to a none responsive patient. So at the end of the day a lifeguard is a lifeguard... oh, and you don't have to be there best swimmer. As a collegiate swimmer I've seen/worked with guards who aren't that do a better job that experienced swimmers. Keep up the good job fellow guard
He placed a camera on the mirror and recorded himself brushing his teeth for the duration he wanted. he then recorded a 1st person video of the mirror trying to brush his teeth with the exact same brush strokes. He then cropped out the video with the camera in the mirror and added in the video of the camera on the mirror video shot. The way you can tell he did that is because at the bottom of the mirror you can see the crop marks (prob due to the fisheye lens making things difficult). Also if you look at his real hand and mirror hand; right at the end when he rolls his mirror hand he does not roll his real hand. Regardless it is bloody good editing skills and adds flavour to an already interesting vid.
My experience as a lifeguard: [Opening] Me, checking the chemicals: please don’t make me have to backwash please don’t make me have to backwash please don’t Me: why the hell didn’t closing staff leave the chlorine pump on at a 1 overnight we’re at zero Me: god why did we have to get these new umbrellas [the next five hours] [absolutely nothing interspaced with cries of “NO *RUNNING*” and praying for a cloud to cover the sun] [Closing] Me: WHY ARE UMBRELLAS SO HARD TO MOVE Me: The chlorine is at a five, so turning it back on will be the opening staff’s problem.
as a waterfront guard at a summer camp that has to stand for up to 2 hours/swim team guard that sits and does nothing for up to 2.5 hours, i can say with full confidence that lifeguarding is nowhere near this glamorous and fun
Im a lifeguard, and it sucks, its an extremely easy job but it gets sooooo boring sometimes. Especially having to stay on duty for rotations when theres less than 5 people in the pool and they’re all adults just standing in the shallow end talking, they get pissed if you get on your phone so you just sit there dazing off until you get off the chair and get to go sit down and check your phone or something. But hey, it is an easy job and pays pretty good and theres little to no management enforcing any sort of tasks you have to do. Just opening and closing the pool, testing PH, and sitting in the chair for hours a day.
There was nothing like opening the pool on a Friday morning in July. Everything was peaceful and warm. Fondest memory of highschool summers... Then we'd close up at 8, walk into town, grab a slice, find out whose parents were out of town 😂 Nostalgia hits like a sack of bricks sometimes.
It is, but it's generally harmless as it's a small amount and the pool is most likely drained at the end of the active season, so it wouldn't build up to be too great anyways
The pool is DEFINITELY not drained at the end of the active session LOL. It takes WEEKS to fill a pool up after it has been drained, and it is almost never done. And Barley James, there is a warning on the chemicals in the SDS Sheets for them labeling them as carcinogenic and to use gloves when handling it.
Urooj Gondal some swimming classes. Go swimming at the pool I'm trying to get a job in all the time so everyone already knows me. Have some friends who can help. And done swimming in highschool
Idk if u got the job already but I’m 16 too and just started in the summer and honestly it’s not as scary as it looks and u become a family with the other lifeguards, so I hope u get it! Always stay alert tho ofc
I became a lifeguard at 16, I spent 1 and a half years doing courses to get all my certifications which was a LOT of effort and money. In the end, it's the best job you can have at that age. I'm 18 now still a lifeguard and I am so glad my parents made me start.
No one: Literally no one: Not a soul: Not a speck of dust: Not even a particle: Not a cell: You thought I was gonna say something ha like if I wasted at least a second of ur life .
The part where the music gets quiet when the camera goes underwater was really nice
it was the touch that this video needed
it didn't get quiet, it's just a filter effect
just for general knowledge :p
Rah Beats a what ?
Basically he cut off the high frequencies. It's called a low pass filter
I agree
He must be decent at editing
At my pool, we are basically CPR certified janitors.
Same lol
Fucking tel me about it
True that.
Couldn't say anything truer
Glorified cleaners who take half hour breaks to sit on poolside 😂
That girl on the diving board totally flexed on you
Sam Finch hahaha
Sam Finch you have the devils number 🙀
Itz Kiwi what? Oh you mean his like count got to 666. Well every comment with 666 and above have reached 666 so I mean not much to be surprised about
Hahahah
Overdrive geez
Sums it up pretty well. 2 minutes of interesting stuff, and 7 hours and 58 minutes of sitting in a chair trying to stay awake.
What's the "interesting stuff"?
diornotwar2356 someone begins actively drowning which is more interesting than usual stuff (but it hardly ever happens). Or you see something weird. Like a kid peeing on deck or eating out a water jet.
Giga Gamby lmao
A lifeguard myself, this is accurate.
Giga Gamby atleast you get to sit in a chair I have to walk around the pool for 6 hours even when no ones thwrw
The sound of the music getting muffled when you went underwater is great attention to detail.
wtf? no it isn’t sounds like you’re a bitch ass wanting attention
Wittletaungy Marchbank wtf dude calm down.
Wittletaungy Marchbank ???
Wittletaungy Marchbank How are they being rude? I noticed that it got muffled and was impressed as well. Shouldn’t be mad at them
Andy .O lol he deleted his other reply
DO U WANT EXTRA 2 MIN IN THE POOL? BAITED TO WORK
SHHHHH

It's called a joke.

The one thing that scares us all in the pool
The lifeguard wistle
True
I'm like "what did i do? "

Yes, but the lifeguards are there to protect you and not to hurt you.
Yes omg
1:23 am I the only one who's impressed by this girl?

I was like omg
I was not expecting it at all

Oh My God 30 whole minutes what a tragedy.
Don’t you guys have a heavy rain policy? Like if it’s raining hard enough that you can’t see the bottom of pool you must close it?
@@Master_WannaBe_ if it's raining so much we can't see the pool
true, my dad was a lifeguard b4, and he told me how long time he had to sit on the chair, and he is always hoping someone to have problems in the pool, so he can get a dip , xHorizon is that true?
xHorizon i only have to be on stand when theres someone in the facility
HAHA 2 EXTRA MINS TO CLEAN UP
yeah id do it at that age 2 mins is like 20 mins that age ahahaha
Pilot404 lol
u have any prob with that?
what a cute bribery XD
I guard also and we do the same thing
Baywatch lied to me, I thought you guys did it all, even solved murders
😂
Yeah where the fuck is Zach efforn
Bloody hell you’re right
That's Bondi Rescue or Durban Beach Rescue :p
Well I mean my grandad was a lifeguard in the 60’s and he helped solve a murder
You pool lifeguards have it easy. Try being a waterpark lifeguard for a day lol.
r3ndering I swear! Mine is always so packed
r3ndering you water park lifegaurds have it easy, try being a beach lifegaurd

I work wavepool at Six Flags HH LA and oh boy is it crazy haha
1:23 : “Hold my non-alcoholic beverage”
박근원 apple juice or cider
Lmao. hOld My jUiCe
Hold my orange juice
Old my Apple juice
Other lifeguards: I like helping people and making sure they’re safe!
Me: I get paid a decent amount to yell at people, what more could you want?
TheMadWooly yep!
That’s me lol
TheMadWooly
Haha, I’d be best at the yelling part.
@Isaac is bad at UA-cam Every lifeguard I know gets paid. We are literally trained professionals, and this is the job we do.
Isaac is bad at UA-cam we get paid 12.57 an hour and I work at a small community pool

“Hold my Orange Juice” would be better
MrCnote1993 its a joke lmao
Somebody: *Drowning*
Lifeguards: *P O I N T S*
Am lifeguard. We do this so other lifeguards can identify where the emergency is.
We aren't allowed to do flips at the pool I work at :(
No one's allowed to jump in the pools at the water park i work at.
Spence Walton He said flips not flip flops lol.
Paridox same
We aren't even aloud to go off the board at my pool
We arent allowed to look at the pool
As a lifeguard I can tell you right now that this guy did a whole lot more than anyone ever does 😂
CamelKings we never get the kids on floaties lmao that’s too much work
Do i have a lifeguard job please. I am from India i have one year of experiencia. And i am a son of fisherman.
CamelKings same
Hahaha this is so true
Agreed!
I thought lifeguards just sit on those chairs with glasses on and flex their muscles all the time.
Damjan Lakic im gonna be a lifeguard and im skinny and cant relate 🤦🏽♂️. im prolly gonna get made fun of but its whatever
@@dejesuspolanco5556 At least you get to sit on the chair. And it's not smart to make fun of the guy who is responsible for saving your life.

Liveguard: does backflip
Little Girl: hold my apple juice
The running bit killed me 😂😂
This video is a huge summer vibe
Very well made and a good representation of a good day as a lifeguard. As a fellow lifeguard I'm happy to see a video like this on YT. Coming in from small town Del Rio, Texas
rolly5844 Im from Del Rio as well are you talking about the pool next to the Blue Hole
TheProphetSwift Yes, I work both Moore Park and Buena Vista.
I'm a lifeguard as well, and this is a great video to represent what we do.
at the end the guy went savage mode having the kids pick up the noodles
2017: lets not put this in the recommendations
2019: LeTs PuT tHiS iN tHe ReCoMmEnDaTiOnS
Your such a kind guy, helping everyone out to have a fun time.
Sir I beg your pardon I came for the “Stop running” with excessive whistle blowing.
LMAO
Perfectly executed. Just enough with just the right details with just enough speaking. Well edited. Simple and beautiful video!
I hate how very small youtubers are the best at filming, you deserve much more subs
Wow imagine being the reason someone is alive like you are saving a life congrats dude that’s amazing
Love how you actually show the brunt of the work we do😂 everyone shows the saves and the rescues, but everyone skips over the fact that 99% of what we do is yell at people to walk, you only eat one bounce of the diving board, and stop hanging on the divider.
The fact that you bike ride to work is what makes this so much better 😭❤️
Kinda looks like the pool from Gravity Falls. haha
Roodibeger lol. Yeah it does
Yo it really reminds me of it lol, the supplies, the keys
Roodibeger lol
Roodibeger it really does
At first before reading this comment I was getting a gravity falls vibe like the episode of the mermaid man marmando
This was a very well put together video, it gave off such a chill summer vibe. Subbed.
First year as a pool manager this year and let me tell you I'd kill for it to be this calm.
What kind of excitement do you expect on a regular basis at your pool?
*sun beats down on skin*
Looks around
BACKFLIPS INTO POOL
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Why was this in my recommended?
And yours too.
It wasnt in my recommended
Pelle Brevenius you searched for this shit?! 😂😂😂

Braunsen Adams I did cause my friend is actually in it and I wanted to see if it was really him 😂
Im guessing because I commented on a news video about a lifeguard yesterday. As a lifeguard I have always wanted to know what a day in the life of a lifeguard was like
I love how you are so sweet to the kids...
...I’m not very good with kids
The girl that hit the 1 1/2 wanted to straight up flex on you
I never experienced a day as interesting as this as a lifeguard.
Wait what at the start when he is brushing his teeth WHERES THE CAM IN THE MIRROR XDDD
WAIT WUT
ILLUMINATI STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE
he recorded with the camera taped to the mirror (or on a tripod facing him) and masked that layer behind one where he had it recording the mirror... sorry to be the spoiler of fun :)

CARRB GAMING JR Can you speak in English please.
Oh look its summer time let's put this video on everyone's home page
My experience as a lifeguard:
[Opening]
Me, checking the chemicals: please don’t make me have to backwash please don’t make me have to backwash please don’t
Me: why the hell didn’t closing staff leave the chlorine pump on at a 1 overnight we’re at zero
Me: god why did we have to get these new umbrellas
[the next five hours]
[absolutely nothing interspaced with cries of “NO *RUNNING*” and praying for a cloud to cover the sun]
[Closing]
Me: WHY ARE UMBRELLAS SO HARD TO MOVE
Me: The chlorine is at a five, so turning it back on will be the opening staff’s problem.
Charlotte Parker I and a few other lifeguards were the only ones that would actually check the levels and back wash. I feel your pain brother.
That's me bro!
I don’t know why but I have watched this video 5 times already
“You guys want a few extra minutes in the pool?”
“Yeah”
“Can you help clean it up?”
You outplayed them.
Being a lifeguard seems like a really chill job!
Lifeguards get pizza?!!
*sign me up*
Nah we don’t but I’m guessing that depends on where you work
This turned from a boring old job to a happy go lucky vibe job
1:25 I was not expecting that
I think this guy is one of the best life guards I’ve ever seen
2016
2017
2018
2019 Yeah let’s recomend this now
The part about giving kids a few extra minutes to clean toys is so true, we do it all the time at my pool too
that backflip was impressive
That place and job looks really calm and chill
Oooo now I want to be a lifeguard, damn you! I'm don't know what I want to do

Im a lifeguard, and it sucks, its an extremely easy job but it gets sooooo boring sometimes. Especially having to stay on duty for rotations when theres less than 5 people in the pool and they’re all adults just standing in the shallow end talking, they get pissed if you get on your phone so you just sit there dazing off until you get off the chair and get to go sit down and check your phone or something. But hey, it is an easy job and pays pretty good and theres little to no management enforcing any sort of tasks you have to do. Just opening and closing the pool, testing PH, and sitting in the chair for hours a day.
They feed you hahaha they leave us to starve we don’t even got our own lifeguard room dude we gotta table 😂
fr that sucks lol. Our concession stand gives us food every day for free
I have watched this video 19 times.
Did you give the traveler one a go as well?
Who else was waiting for the forbidden "no running"
There was nothing like opening the pool on a Friday morning in July. Everything was peaceful and warm. Fondest memory of highschool summers... Then we'd close up at 8, walk into town, grab a slice, find out whose parents were out of town 😂

Woah!! This looks cool!! I wanna be a lifeguard when I grow up!
Unicorn Pug not all pools are like that. Depends on where you get a job at.
Bronze cross at 13 because why not and it sucks that I have to wait another 3 year’s 😢
Unicorn Pug my last pay check was 50 bucks for working 18 hours no you don’t, it’s a good summer job tho
youtube viewer What?!?!?!?! That's not much
idk what these fools r working at or their just getting ripped off becuz thats not true you get paid way more than that
The face you pull when a life guard blows his whistle at you
😳😳😳
Seems like a fun job.
That's where you're wrong
Glad you showed us how you wake up, look unique to being a lifeguard
well it's not quite Bondi Rescue lol
joosiej85 haha true
LOL
GOD BLESS YOU FOR SAVING THOSE PEOPLE
without a lifeguard there wouldnt be "A Day In The Life"
Okay UA-cam thanks for recommending this to me it was everything I’ve been searching for...
I cringed so hard when you dumped the chemicals in the pool after testing, phenol red is carcinogenic and isn't filtered out.
Ben Henderson it is? We do that all the time but yet there's never any warning against it.
It is, but it's generally harmless as it's a small amount and the pool is most likely drained at the end of the active season, so it wouldn't build up to be too great anyways
The pool is DEFINITELY not drained at the end of the active session LOL. It takes WEEKS to fill a pool up after it has been drained, and it is almost never done. And Barley James, there is a warning on the chemicals in the SDS Sheets for them labeling them as carcinogenic and to use gloves when handling it.
Haha no lifeguard ever uses gloves let's be real here haha. But ya you never throw it back onto the water haha
Ben Henderson he said season, but ok
This is so cool! This makes me want to make videos about the stuff I do during my days ❣️ mad luv from NZ 🇳🇿
What a nice guy :)
I watched this before I started as a lifeguard and after the season finished and I must say, you have it easy
But the question we are all wondering....
What does he look like?
Faded 0:03
All lifeguards love that closing whistle 💕💕💕💕
My dad use to be a life guard. Once we were walking down a beach when we heard someone shouting help my dad jumped in and saved two people.
Definitely doing this for a summer job
Age 16. Trying to get a job as a lifeguard
Perla Jurado what have you done before it though, like all swimming classes (ultra 1 - 9) and the prerequisites for becoming a lifeguard?
Urooj Gondal some swimming classes. Go swimming at the pool I'm trying to get a job in all the time so everyone already knows me. Have some friends who can help. And done swimming in highschool
Honestly, go for it! Just know your stuff, cause there's a lot of miscellaneous things that you *really* need to know
Idk if u got the job already but I’m 16 too and just started in the summer and honestly it’s not as scary as it looks and u become a family with the other lifeguards, so I hope u get it! Always stay alert tho ofc
I became a lifeguard at 16, I spent 1 and a half years doing courses to get all my certifications which was a LOT of effort and money. In the end, it's the best job you can have at that age. I'm 18 now still a lifeguard and I am so glad my parents made me start.
this quality is amazing
0:56 Why does this guy look so familiar?? is it just me or???
He looks like the noice guy if he was older
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING TOO!!
he just looks like anyone to me
Very inspirational! I'm hoping to take my Lifeguarding courses soon
lifeguarding =... the easiest, and most fun job ever :)
yeah, easy and fun a) a kid starts pooping in the water or b) someones life is in your hands
The easiest job until you deal with a real incident. Getting to the point where you are fully certified is the second hardest part.
Easy until you have a prostitute hiding in your office because the john tried to rob her at gun point in the parking lot
I say this a year or two ago and thought about it today and came back to like it
