"I loved the flexibility of being able to work while in school, as well as the practical knowledge of CPR/AED/First Aid. However the job only served as a part time position because it is not challenging or rewarding, in regards to moving up in the company."
"I love everything about being a lifeguard. You are the one protecting the swimmers and prevent drownings. You also help people who are in distress like help revive them using CPR or if need be the AED."
"Work helping people to do something difficult, learning to swim and taking care of their personal safety."
"Being a lifeguard itself was a pretty fulfilling job, knowing that you can be the one who saves a person's life."
"I would love to have a real job."
"There is nothing better than teaching someone a skill that they will use for the rest of their life. It is great working with the kids and teaching them respect and self discipline (it takes discipline to learn how to swim). Also while being a lifeguard you learn important skills in first aid and stay in great shape."
"The positives of being a lifeguard and swim lesson instructor is how rewarding it is to know you have positively impacted someone's life. The negative is the seasonal requirements and it is slightly unrealistic as a career."
"I enjoyed helping people and working with an amazing staff."
