It’s that time of year again when students and young people of all ages are looking for summer jobs. If you’re one of these young people and you’re similar to my own kids, you’re looking for a job that pays well and is really fun. You might want to consider becoming a lifeguard this summer.
There are many benefits to working as a lifeguard in the summer. But if you want to work as a lifeguard legally, you must first get certified.
There are many benefits to working as a lifeguard in the summer. But if you want to work as a lifeguard legally, you must first get certified. Check the newspaper, your school, or online to find out when and where lifeguard training certification courses are held. Whether you already know it or not, being a lifeguard is a big responsibility, so take it seriously and get the best training possible.
Once you have the right lifeguard certification, you can start looking for a job that’s right for you. One of the most obvious benefits of being a lifeguard is that you get to spend most of your summer outdoors. For those who love warmth and water, there’s no better way to spend your days. Many of the lifeguards you see at the end of summer are also some of the most sunburned.
But don’t become a lifeguard just to get a tan. Instead, think about how many lives you are saving. Everyone needs to know their work is valuable, and lifeguards need to be convinced that their job is truly important and plays a vital role. Think about the responsibility of watching the beach in front of you and being the first to ensure people’s safety and rescue them if there is a problem in the water.
Being a lifeguard is a great skill. Learn to swim properly and learn the techniques to rescue people in distress in the water, and you will never regret it. So, this summer, look into the opportunities to become a lifeguard in your area and get started there. Find out how much fun it will be to spend days at the beach, meeting new people and getting the chance to protect them and keep them safe. Nothing feels better and the job is better than working with people you love and care about at the same time.
