What kind of training can I expect to do to become a public beach lifeguard?
September 232009
The beach is in the gulf of mexico and hardly ever high surf. I would like an opinion maybe from a current beach lifeguard or beach patrol. Im 26, male, very strong swimmer, in great shape but just need to know what to do to be ahead of the game when trying out.
The beach patrol of that city provides free training and certification. I need advice from a lifeguard as to what kind of training I should do to get into the shape needed to get ahead of the game so i can easily pass tryouts
red cross certifies lifeguards, also will in cpr / first aid

Just from what I have observed I think a excellent eye sight to spot someone in trouble would be needed. Also to be able to jump up and run very fast and dive in for a save. good luck, *mamatx
