fitness tests for adults
How to become a lifeguard? Where to start? Please.?
I am 16, and do not have any kindof of certifications in CPR or life guarding. I would love to become a life guard and take a job at a small local water park in our city. It is not huge but has nice water slides and pools and a lazy river. They have young life guards there and I would love to have that job. I am very athletic (brown belt in karate) and in Great Shape and would love to have a job that requires great fitness and people skills (I’m great with people! I make friends easily and socialize very well with adults!) 
. I called this place and of course they are closed for the season so I can’t get through. I want to be certified and have taken courses before the pool opens in late May so I could start right away if I pass the tests and become hired.
So anyone please able to tell me where to start? By the way this would be a full time/part time summer job. :~) Thank you and God bless you!
you want to take an American Red Cross lifeguard training course.
You can sign up for this course at your local YMCA. Many high schools also offer it, during vacations and such.
In order to be able to take the course you have to be able to swim a 500 (300 free and 200 breast), and you have to know those strokes pretty well. You also will be doing a brick retrieval, which is really easy.
Once you pass that, you take the course which will give you certs in basic lifeguarding, basic first aid, AED and CPR.
You said you wanted to work at a water park. You need an extra cert for that. On top of your basic lifeguarding you will want a waterpark cert. I would contact your local chapter of the red cross to see where you would be able to get that.
good luck and email me if you have any more questions.
