Some people may think that being a lifeguard is really unnecessary. In reality, the occupation of a lifeguard is very important. They need to sit on a chair for an extensive amount of time watching people swim in a pool or beach, making sure everyone is safe.

After reaching the status of a national lifeguard, the ranks ahead of me would be an Patrol Rider and Aquatic
