While some might perceive lifeguarding as just another summer job dominated by teenagers trying to make an extra buck, the truth is that this career is far more than that. Across the various swimming facilities — the pool, waterpark, beachfront, and ocean — lifeguards are equipped with the skills to act on a moment’s notice and respond to struggling swimmers and all types of emergencies.
