Tips For Becoming A Lifeguard
Have you dreamed of being a lifeguard after seeing a few episodes of Baywatch? Well, it’s not all fun in the sun. Being a lifeguard can be hard work and it’s up to you to make sure everyone is safe. That’s a lot of responsibility.
Think about it. It’s a huge responsibility knowing that you are there to prevent people from drowning. They are depending on you to save their lives if they get a cramp or get tired when swimming. It’s the lifeguard’s job to make sure everyone follows the rules of the beach or pool and stays safe.
When someone shows signs of drowning it’s up to you to take notice and jump in the water to save them. You also have to use correct rescue techniques. If you don’t you may find yourself in trouble.
Knowing all this, if you still are interested in becoming a lifeguard, here are a few things that may help you out.
It may not seem important but you should always stay on top of the chlorine levels in the pool. Did you know that chlorine levels can decrease by 1ppm each hour in hot weather? So, it’s essential that you check the chemical levels about every hour.
Don’t get too comfortable. If you sit too long in your chair you may find yourself falling asleep. This can be dangerous if you lose your focus while on duty. Get up and stretch once and a while.
It’s important for everyone to get plenty of rest and eat right but especially important if you’re a lifeguard. You want to be in the best shape you can be if people are depending on you.
Be a strict about the rules. They are created for a reason, so if you see someone breaking them blow your whistle. Give them one warning and if they continue to break the rules make them get out of the pool.
When you start your shift be sure to check the first aid kit and make sure everything is in order. It pays to be prepared.
