How to practice for a lifeguard swim test?
May 102010
I haven’t swam on a team in about 6 years and am taking a test for a lifeguard job in about 2 weeks. I have to swim a 500 (the first 200 in 3min30sec) and also tread with a brick for I believe 30 sec-1min. How do I practice to get in better conditioning for the swim? The speed is not an issue, its just maintaining my endurance.
In two weeks….it doesn’t give you much time. You need to get into the water on a daily basis and try to swim longer in your workouts by five minutes every three days. That will get your swim to around 20 minutes longer than it is right now and should provide the psychological boost you’ll need when being pressed to perform in the testing.

From 1st place to last place with one break of a wave. This was the second (of two) 3-lap dory boat races July 19th at the 2008 San Clemente Ocean Festival (SCOF) in San Clemente , California. My brother (Dick, the “bow man”) made the wrong descision taking off on the shoulder of this top to bottom wave. They had nice control of first place at the end of the second lap. You can see Bret (the stern man) try to get his weight to the back of the dory in hopes of getting the bow up and making the wave. His efforts were futile as their bow dug in and they broached towards the peek, ultimately the wave had it’s way with them. Notice the crowds reaction, the pier and beach was completely packed with spectators. The SCOF usually offers the best viewing and action in our summer lifeguard racing schedule. This wipe out shows why greed (of a wave ride to the beach) can make or break your whole race. This race was eventually won by Brian and Brad in the “SILVER EDITION” Quiksilver Dory. And, for the record, Dick and Bret salvaged a 5th place.
