How to-Matthew Telfer

How to be the best lifeguard possible!
I lifeguarded this past summer and I loved every second of it. So here's what you need to know:
1. Become a certified lifeguard. All you have to do is put in 30 hours of in-class training and 5 hours of studying for a difficult test which you will barely pass!
2. Find a job. Make sure you find a job with the lowest pay possible. You will have to do the same amount of work as lifeguards at other pools but you will be making three dollars less an hour!
3. Look good on the job. No one wants to look at an out of shape lifeguard so make sure you look sexy!
4. Put on sunscreen. If you don't do it,  you'll learn the hard way!
5. Be a stickler. If you see a kid doing anything that looks relatively fun, blow your whistle. If a kid is coming to the pool to have fun, they are coming for the wrong reason!
6. The most important tip to becoming a lifeguard is finding a way to pass time. I'll be honest, lifeguarding is not the most exciting job in the world. For example, if you become bored up in the chair, look at your phone. If someone starts to drown in your area, chances are another lifeguard will jump in and save them!
Have fun lifeguarding!
