Lifeguard

kraken, and they were right for sure. The Kraken lets out a screeching roar like a pot of tea and its readiness. Everybody freaks out and start running and the dragon is soaring and stalking his target, the lifeguard. He swoops in, but a large tentacle comes out of the ocean and takes the lifeguard. A kraken emerges. The dragon let out a huge loud scream. Then the dragon gets very mad and starts breathing large amount of fire. The fight begins with the dragon turning the whole beach sand…

mind. I didn't like to stay towards the front because that is where the waves break. So I went past it. Everything was fine. I made sure not to go too far and I didn't. My logic was to stay in line with the other people around me. I could hear the lifeguards blowing their whistles to warn people not to go too far and wondered how and why they would. I got out of the water. Everything was fine. Until later the lifeguard’s whistle was for me. My cousin had come right after I got out of the water,…

I am a lifeguard and swimming instructor for the City of Vaughan at Woodbridge Pool. Through examining this subculture, I will touch upon major patterns such as Erving Goffman’s dramaturgical approach impression management, which consists of front and back stage…

To become a lifeguard one must go through extensive training, training includes important things like how to safely rescue someone and how to do CPR. If lifeguards are required to learn these things then why shouldn’t babysitters have to? A babysitting class teaches babysitters important things like CPR, the heimlich maneuver, and even little things like how to properly change a diaper or warm up milk. These things can make a difference in whether a child lives or dies in the hands of a…

operate as a lifeguard. Talking to customers swimming at NHLC, you build upon your communication skills. This is needed within a University. Engaging with my colleges and our customers is one way to hear personal stories which help you learn about the industry and what society is like. Communicate upon recent topics, engaging thoughts of opinion, learning more about another's beliefs, religion or country. Another skill I believe to be imperative is teamwork: completing the National Pool…

jump into the pool and save her daughter she awaits her husband or the lifeguard to do so, “I cried out for Andrew, and the lifeguard came into the view” (page 72). The main character was the first adult and closest to her drowning daughter so she should have jumped into the water to save her daughter right away. Instead, she begins to question the actions of the lifeguard who was trying to rescue Meg, “why would a lifeguard stop and point, why would she ask what that was, why didn’t she just…

Even in a job that does not reflect masculinity, this rebel photographer can express masculine traits by defying authority to capture an impeccable snapshot. He operates under the social media alias Vic Invades, exploring the uncharted territories of New York City as an artist. Upon watching the brief documentary featuring this urban explorer on the front page of the New York Times, it struck me as a key example of masculinity in an artistic profession. The documentary first depicts Vic’s group…

stomach starts to lurch, I keep trying to swallow the stress but it feels like a hair dryer is blowing it back up. My knees start to buckle as I slowly inch forward in line. Drop after drop, yell after scream, I’m the first in line. “Next!” the lifeguard announces, clearly expressing that he has better things to do. My muscles tense. I have to drag myself to the clear…

5. Describe a time when you have demonstrated leadership in your life. What has leadership taught you about yourself? As a lifeguard, a lot of responsibility is held in my hands. It also requires leadership, especially when working at one of the largest water parks in the world. While working with hundreds of other lifeguards and seeing thousands of guests, hectic occurrences were bound to happen every day. At Water World, one of the most coveted attractions in the park is the enormous wave…

As they approached the beach, they saw the purple flags and no swimming signs. They asked the lifeguard why the purple fag was up, and the lifeguard said one word, “jellyfish.” Jellyfish can paralyze and kill other small animals, and sometimes they kill humans. Most jellyfish are transparent and have very long tentacles. These are good qualities for a predator. However, now you can buy anti-jellyfish sunscreen. Many cultures cook and eat jellyfish, and we are using them in medical research.…
