Lifeguard

my love for swimming in younger kids and dedicate my time towards ensuring that they have the skills to be a good swimmer. Every summer since I was old enough, I have been a lifeguard at the Metrowest YMCA in Hopkinton. Here, I hold a crucial role by monitoring the pool activities and guaranteeing member safety. As a lifeguard you must take responsibility to help prevent incidents, enforce all safety guidelines, and maintain a clean and safe environment. There are hundreds of kids who attend…

the deeper section. The pool was not a simple rectangle. It was wavy and had narrow passageways. I recall that I crawled all the way to the 5 feet section and was holding onto the walls to stay above the surface. I was not scared of the water. The lifeguard told me to get off the walls but I had no idea what he was saying. He was pointing at the walls so I got off. Eventually, I crawled back to the little kids section. It had a small side and sprays. I stayed there for a while. Once in awhile I…

The poem “How It Will End” by Denise Duhamel unfolds a tale of irony. The married couple watch a girl confront her lifeguard boyfriend, then soon find themselves within their own debate. Soon after, the lifeguard and his girlfriend make-up, but now the watchers take on the conflict. The female speaker realizes her newly position and finds that the argument tapped into her and her husband’s relationship. The author draws in the message that arrogance and insecurity increase the opportunity to…

around 3:40 p.m., I went on the fast green slide, I forgot to duck my head because there is a sharp edge all the way around the entrance of the slide. I was daydreaming about a movie, and I hit my eyebrow right on the edge. Next, I glanced at the lifeguard, such I could go, consequently, she looked…

Analysis: One way a horse can express themselves is by making different sounds. The nicker and neigh are some of the many unique sounds horses make.

being a lifeguard. A an early age, LeRoy Colombo was diagnosed with spinal meningitis, which caused him to lose his hearing and his ability to use his legs. He would regain his ability to use his legs because swimming, which started because his siblings repeatedly tried to make him swim. It was shortly after swimming for a while that his legs became strong enough to walk again. Because of this, LeRoy Colombo developed a love for water and swimming. During a 40 year career as a lifeguard, he…

going to be wanted even more. “Maybe. Let’s check the amount of security first.” We walk out of the woods to where the Buckingham Palace was and we saw two Russian lifeguards. One on a pink unicorn and the other on a cow. I don’t know if it’s fake or not, but I can tell you that it’s really weird. Just as I was turning away from the lifeguard, he looked at me and I knew I was dead. “We can just kill him. No one‘ll know it. If we don’t we both ‘ll be captured and I’ll be held as a prisoner.”…

know some life skills in order to be able to do things. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation which abbreviated means CPR. This is one important life skill you should know, because a lot of kids and adults drowned, and stop breathing every year. I was a lifeguard for three in a half years before I moved to Tennessee, it was an amazing job. I love helping people and knowing this life skill. In order to become CPR certified you have to take a course through the Red Cross to become certified. It takes…

stand at the edge of the rough ocean, my eyes examining each swimmer in the water. My fellow lifeguard and friend, Emma, makes small talk with me as our shift seems to drag more than usual. While watching the murky ocean, the enormous size of the waves had us in shock. Most of the patrons had left the water, but a few daring swimmers remained. Suddenly, a child is caught in a riptide, and our lifeguard skills are activated without thinking. While the water was colder than usual as sunset…

are all similar though, but the better shift would be the evening shift, since it is not as hot as the morning shift, and it is not as busy either. Most shifts are normally only four hours, but sometimes a lifeguard can be scheduled for an eight hour day. Some people may be called…
