hey i am doing life guard training all this weekend and next weekend. I had my first class tonight and it blew. Just wondering if anyone else has done this and what they know about it like what shit we have to do and how boring you thought the rest was. Also what was on the final?

as a lifeguard. dude. lifeguarding is fucking easy. the written test is so fucking easy and as long as your form is semi OK in the water you'll be fine. oh and good lung capicity is a plus when your doing a submerged victim with a black/neck injury on the test. I love that one though becasue i am a fucking fish.

come to Canada.  Its almost too easy to get your lifeguarding.  I did all my shit and am now making 18.50 an hour sitting on my ass and every once in a while picking up some towels and flutterboards.  Its one of the best jobs because where else can you sit around watching hot bitches in bathing suits get wet all day?
