The toughest competition is the one to save somebody’s life. Lifeguards work together in specific scenarios in an emergency. They train in these scenarios together, they learn them together.

Lifeguarding is the best job anyone could ask for, that moment you pull a drowning kid out of the pool is the most rewarding feeling.
ReplyDeleteI've never been a lifeguard before, but I could see if being a very rewarding job. Even if you don't end up saving someone from drowning, there are plenty of little things that you can do can make a positive influence on others. It might be a good experience to take it up as a job one summer.
