    As a Lifegaurd, I would recommend to anyone as scanning the pool and people, count the people in water and keep on making sure it's the same to not get bored and to ensure safety!

    Last night I passed my written exam, single person water rescue and CPR scenario and my group scenario all with a 100%. I watched your tip videos over and over and they definitely made a huge difference and helped me a ton. Thank you so much for your videos and advice!

    I got my certification on the 18th. I applied to my local waterpark. They're only hiring 3 out of the 5 kids in my class because that's how many spots they have left. I did my interview already now I'm waiting on a call. I'm kinda nervous I won't get it. If I don't I can probably apply at the school natatorium or maybe a local club in town. But thanks for the lifeguard videos! I was definitely prepared for everything getting my certificate.

      It should be 7 to 9 feet if your getting an American Red Cross Lifeguard Certification. You should check with your instructor to make sure that's the right depth

    For the Lifeguard Pretest 300 meter swim. When doing this am I able to keep my head above water the whole time or do I have to have proper technique with my head in the water and breaths here and there?

    • @adelaidepucci4542
      @adelaidepucci4542 3 роки тому +2

      I recommend doing breaststroke. It makes it easier to keep your head in the water and take breaths accordingly. Not sure if they mark you off for keeping your head above the entire time. Definitely ask your instructors when you get there.
