become a lifeguard

지난 2005년 11월과 2006년 2월에 각각 대한적십자사 수상안전요원과 수상안전법강사 자격증을 취득하였다. 하나의 큰 도전이었고 아주 소중한 추억으로 남아있다.
현재 형편상 수영을 자주 할 수 있는 여건이 되지 않아 수영을 못하고 있지만 꾸준히 실력을 가다듬어야 한다.
구조수영에서 가장 중요한 것이 입영이고 로터리킥인데 강한 킥을 위해서는 다리가 튼튼해야한다. 평상시 줄넘기를 통해서 꾸준히 체력단력을 하도록 하고 틈나는대로 수영장에 가서 수영 실력을 기르자.

I am applying for a course starting in Feb…hopefully,x

I’m about to get access to a nice pool in the next couple of weeks, and start a swimming routine. After I know if can swim 300 yards and have a little money, I’d like to sign up for classes and get certified. I’m already a certified EMT, so I think that taking this would be a great way to reinforce my current skills and help me learn some new ones. I’d also love to get a part-time job working as a lifeguard to help bring in some extra money, while working as a professional rescuer.

I believe I saw a course for the NLS which is the last course I need to finish off this part of my life…. to become a lifeguard and finish off what I started nearly 15 years ago. I can’t believe it’s been so long and I have no idea why I never finished this off earlier!

I think I can do this! I’ll update more. I have more work to do. I’m nearly 100 pounds overweight but I believe I can do this. I must get to the gym and start working at this.

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

i just got hired to work for the county… getting certified was a “feel-good” experience that i needed.

Best Job I've ever had!

Too many things came up that I have not been able to achieve the fitness level I want even though I know I could pass it… I have just my NLS to do… which is the last course before you’re done. So close, yet so far away :P

THere could be a potential for me to get it done late 2007, and if so—I might be able to get some work at the pools as a teacher… a possibility anyways! Will keep y’all updated…

I technically haven’t worked as a lifeguard yet, but I’ve been certified! Hurrah!

Even if you never work as a lifeguard, it’s great to be certified.

i’m really trying my hardest to pass the course i’m in. it’s only a 6 day class. so it’s like really short.. crash course!! i’m also an asthamtic.. so this is really hard. but i’m very determined to complete the course. :) if God wants me to do it, i know He’ll help me complete it. :D oh yeah!!!
