...when i was first going thru certification for guarding, there were only two other people in the program with me. Neither could swim a complete lap, and expected to be certified within 4 weeks O_O
LMAO...thats just dumb...i mean about monkey's experience. why would you think you can save someone who is drowning when you cant even swim???
i used to swim on a team and i had minor difficulties passing some of the tests first time around. that brick test (where you have to hold it over your head and keep afloat w/ your legs for a minute) that was a killer. but yeah... some people

ha i duno but the other girl dropped out and the dude didn't even pass the first aid section because "theres so much to remember hahaha". ...and yet he was surprised that he didn't get his certs!!!
the brick thing was tough, but what really kicked my butt was laps wearing sweats. i may as well have just been swimming around with sandbags attached to all my limbs.

damn...laps wearing sweats? we didnt have to do that. maybe it depends on the pool. we had to do timed laps, then drag "dead weight" (which was this 200lb mo fo lifeguard who we had to "rescue" for 50 meters), then we had to do something like 1000 meters with the rescue tube, and other stuff. like we didnt just have to know how to swim, we had to be in good shape to pass.
i must have done that brick thing like 20 times in a row, i just kept going under after 45 seconds...FINALLY my tester felt sorry for me and passed me when i lasted like for 55 seconds or something. i gotta say, i was hurting after that one. lol
Oh we had to swim with the tube and drag eachother up from the bottom of 13 ft and had to do the brick thing and rescue eachother from all the different sitations and such.
The guy in my course was a biiiiiiiiiiig boy so after getting him up off the bottom of the pool i was ready for anything lol
damn...all this talk is making me miss that friggin job. hehe
those 6 years were some of the best summers ever....what can beat tanning, barely doing anything since all the kiddies are afraid to do anything stupid, and watching girlies in bikinis all day long? hehehe NOTHING beats that.
Think that guy on One Bad Motherf**ker's sig is one of the other civic site's admin.
Well...ne-ways, there is a girl at my school that looks just like him...MUHAHAHA
FFS, you asked for it dude. I can't beleive that you even asked that. What are you going to do if someone drowns? Call another guy to jump in and save them?
I am Red Cross lifeguard certified. I have been for 5 years. I am also Water Safety Instructor certified. I have been on a swim team ever since i was 6 years old. The tests are not "hard" but you do have to know what you are doing and be comfortable in the water. Water can sometimes be tricky and you have to know what you are doing or else you may put your own life and the lives of others in danger.
I don't know how to swim, but I can't jump and run in the water. Only in the shallow end, if it's the deep end then I will let someone else save the drowning sucker. buahahah
People on the phone can sometimes be so rude 
you started it.... 
some people
