Guys, I just took the test today with little to no training at all. I’m surprised I passed. I’m out of shape so if I can do it, so could you. Be strong 💪
Hey, I am doing the course on Friday and during weekend. How did you do in exam? Are the questions from quizzlet enough or how did you prepare? @d.c.1706
@@danielsinal969 hey I’m not sure if you passed the course already but I just passed the entire course today. Quizlet really helped a lot during the written exam. It’s pretty basic stuff.
what the
@@adrianimee8665 HAHAHAHA im out of shape too and super nervous good luck!!!!!
Once during a junior lifeguard course we were passing a brick around in the water while treading, and when the brick got to me I struggled to lift it and submerged under the water. The instructor had to grab the brick from me 😅
😂Sorry
I have training this weekend and my test is Sunday I’m nervous 💀
I just passed my course and I can say that you defiantly helped me.
i watched all of your vids and passed my course easily! thanks keep it up
Congrats!
300 meter had me fucked up
When I took the course I had no issue with the pretest. I had the fastest time in our class for the brick dive at 45 seconds!
way to go!
My refresher course is soon and I’m nervous it’s my second year and I feel like I forgot everything - so should I go over the Red Cross book or wait for the course . Let me know !
You’ll be completely fine. They go over everything in a concise way. Much more laid back then getting ur certification for the first time. However, I recommend refreshing urself a little bit, especially for the written exam u take again.. You’ll be 100% ready to go!
I passed my course today. Thank you
Congrats! That’s awesome
I have my written test in a week and am about to start in person lifeguard class I’m rlly nervous I’m gonna fail and won’t be able to be a lifeguard this summer
I plan on practicing for about 2 weeks before taking the pre-test. I'd say I am beginner do you think that is enough time to prep for endurance and the dive?
I start course on Wednesday ❤whoop whoop fingers crossed x thank you 4 the vid dude its gggrrrrrr8888888
i start lifeguard training soon, i’ve not been very active, especially because it’s been cold outside. i’m unsure about my stamina, and i feel like i don’t know what i’m doing😭 wish me luck:)
you got this! I recommend trying to get a day in the pool before just to see how your swimming is. If not, you can wing it like I did haha. Lmk how it goes
@@LifeofAdam been a minute but i’m a lifeguard at a overnight camp now lol
@@lillybell9490 lets go! good work
i havnt swam in like two months since swim season but i have the training in 10 days, im so nervous i try to practice at my work once im off(some pools) the last 30 minutes, im really hoping that’s enough. I’m just nervous for the brick test
You got this! Swimming is muscle memory, just get in the zone and pace yourself! You will be fine!
I passed my lifeguarding course two days ago and got my certification with out any training at all, because I definitely under estimated it but I passed thankfully, it was incredibly hard.
Congrats. Way to go
Hey Adam I had a question regarding the 300 yard swim I don’t really swim as often but I do NJROTC and cross country do you think I’ll pass it if pace my self properly?
Definitely!
Yes you’ll be fine. If you are a strong swimmer, it’s muscle memory, so frequency of swimming beforehand doesn’t matter. The swim test for me was the first time I swam in 4 months, so you’ll be fine. Pace yourself and get into a rhythm. Don’t tire yourself out to try and keep up with the ppl around you, common mistake. Focus on you and getting those 12 laps consecutively while pushing off the end walls to glide and cover a lot of the distance
I'm doing my second re-certification for lifeguarding but i'm still a little nervous for it lol
Haha, honestly was a little too. But once u are there and u meet ppl and start swimming. It’s honestly a fun time. Low stress tbh
I have a phobia called "Emetophobia", basically its the fear of vomiting or seeing others vomit, I was wondering if it would affect my job as a lifeguard ?
99% of the time not at all. However u never kno if someone at the pool gets sick
@@LifeofAdam thank u for the reassurance :)
Get over your fear....
Okay so i can do the 300 meters which is 12 laps but can’t do it back to back. Any tips?
You shouldn't need to. My pretest was the 300 meter swim, 2 min tucked arm tread, and then brick test.
A 200 is only 8 touches if the pool is 25 meters long
I’m taking the Test today
i have my in person course this weekend but i finished my virtual course over 3 weeks ago... what should i review? i feel like i know the topics but my memory is a bit fuzzy
I’m assuming the virtual course was cpr/aed mainly. I would review those notes and take a stab at first aid. The water stuff will be covered at the pool so u don’t need to do any studying. Just develop a strat to pass the pre tests
@@LifeofAdam great, thanks!
I’m starting my training today and I’m super nervous I won’t pass
You’ll be fine! Lmk how it goes
@@LifeofAdam update I passed and start Monday 😌
@@sophiarygiec4785 was it hard? how did it go
@@CamilaSouza-hy7gs well the first thing we did was the laps, treading water, and brick test and I actually failed my brick test the first time but my supervisor let me take it again and I passed the second time. And two of the days we had to end early bc the chlorine was high so we kinda skipped some of the training. And during my cpr test I forgot a few things but he still passed me so 🥴
So I definitely got lucky with who trained me but the best thing to do is study a lot and practice with a friend different saves and stuff
❤️🙏❤️ nice
My course starts this coming monday ;-;
How’d it go?!
@@Haleyyyy18 Sadly I didn't go since I got sick ;-;
And mines starting this Monday
@@Jrcjoko good luck and Have fun, I took the course a few months later in September. And passed, just don't sweat it and you'll be fine 😎
Nice 🙂
Ive swam 10k before surely that’s enough ;)
Hell naw I have test tmmr😔😞
Good luck! You got thus
will my fear of pool drains stop me from being a lifeguard?
Shouldn’t be an issue, majority of the training isn’t at the bottom of the pool
My test is in an hour 💀
Adam, so I am an LGI teaching my course I just wanted to let you know the part around 5 minutes is wrong the teacher can’t not be the lifeguard guarding the class. There has to be someone else there guarding
Appreciate the comment, during my certification and recert classes. The instructor would hold the tube while teaching the class. There wasn’t a guard on duty. All 4 times. Makes sense tho why by the book there should be one. Thanks
Tattoos are a problem for lifeguards or not
No tattoos are fine, just make sure if you are around younger children for like swim lessons that your tattoos are appropriate
It is 400 meters in Canada for the endurance swim
Yep
hahahahahahahaha it is.
BRO MY SWIM IS 400 M WHAT THE FLIP MAN
If i know breaststroke only can i become a lifeguard
Yes
Where are you located?
