How I did it: I started out by finding a lifeguarding class offered in my area.  I looked for a class provided by the red cross.  This class happened to certify me for CPR and first Aid too, which is always good.  I called several area pools to get applications, and then sent them in (promptly).  I heard back from several, got interviews, and was hired.  

Lessons & tips: Apply to as many pools as you can, that way you won't limit yourself or, as cliché as this sounds, put all your eggs in one basket.    

Resources: American Red Cross
