Advice
As an ocean/surf lifesaver, physical strength is obviously a must, but behind the tan skin and golden hair of these seemingly relaxed young adults scanning the beach, are minds that are whirring away, always aware of surroundings and future events. Not only doesn’t mental toughness contribute to a sound lifeguard, but also teamwork, poise, and adaptability. I strongly encourage any strong swimmer to reach out to local lifeguard agencies to gain employment. I have learned emergency medical response tactics, public communication skills, teamwork and other important life and workplace skills to launch me into the future.
