How I did it: Basically, in high school I needed to fulfill a Phy Ed credit, and I didn't want to waste an entire period of a semester taking a useless Phy Ed class.  So I looked at my options and found that I could take a semester class of life guarding which would count as a Phy Ed credit.  Basically this was a great opportunity for me because a) I didn't waste a period of an entire semester on a ridiculous high school Phy Ed class b) the final exam was the Red Cross exam c) it was really laid back because it was a two month course spread out to last five months d) I took the class with some good friends.

Lessons & tips: Don't be afraid of the deep water saves!  They are actually the most fun!

Resources: The Red Cross.
