“I started lifeguard training about 4 years ago. I'd been a competitive club swimmer beforehand and then looked to getting a job for the summer holidays from university, lifeguarding seemed the obvious option given my skill set. My role involves monthly training including CPR, first aid and pool rescue practice. This means if there is a problem in the pool, or anywhere else in the club, I must respond to help with first aid/ rescues. All aspects of my role involve customer interaction, which is why I love the job. I enjoy meeting new people and helping them to have the best visit possible. I also have a fantastic group of colleagues who make each shift fun and different”.
