@@jadenrichardson1099 yo I got the lifeguard job now I just need the trainings if you don’t mine me asking how were your trainings?

[@savagelyliving]

@@AariLyle horrible… lol.. but at my water park we did it through Ellis and Associates, so it just depends and it depends if the COVID restrictions are lifted and the class becomes 3 classes again

[@hattiestephens]

this was so intersting! I’m a lifeguard in England and out outfits are so bad, also we don’t really have any outdoor pools. we also stay on poolside for 1 hour at a time, then have like 30 mins cleaning and stuff.

[@rjs6663]

Question say your a lifeguard and your on pool for 1 hour what is adequate time to refresh yourself fill your water bottle up with out doing any set ups or cleaning? before going back on pool. Is 10min to little to refocus?

[@hattiestephens]

@@rjs6663 I would say it depends on the pool.The pool I work at gets super hot around poolside, meaning anymore than an hour on is super uncomfortable! I would say 20 mins off is a good time if its hot! If not maybe like 15 mins. It also depends how long your shift is, if you are doing that routine for more than 6 hours, your concentration goes!

Brings back great memories from my 40 year career! Thank you!

[@AlisonMcNamara]

Sarai Sargeson thanks so much for the tip! i totally forgot to do that when i was editing oops. thanks sm for watching! 💖

[@tadieeee4207]

You are so cute! I am glad you take lifeguarding serious because some people don't and it enrages me.

[@RealShadowfiend180x]

Damn I miss lockdown season 👏❤️fantastic going on you well done

[@carwashslayer4235]

Hey I know im super late but have ypu thought about a Fox 40 whistle which most guards use. Hope you can buy one they are awesome and I own like 5 of them and I now own a yellow Classic. Definitely toss the metal for a louder whistle.

[@sadierogo2428]

sorry i’m so late i just got a job as a guard for the summer do most places give breaks every 15 mins

[@AlisonMcNamara]

depends! at my pool that’s what we have but i’m not sure about anywhere else. good luck!

[@gobobcatsattexasstate6273]

mine does breaks every 30

[@sunsetmango187]

As a blonde, do you have to worry about your hair turning green? I was offered a job as a life guard, if I pass the swim test and the 6 week course. I love gettinf my hair done, blonde, but I hear it can turn green and become really brittle. Do you get in the water alot?

[@AlisonMcNamara]

I personally do, mostly to cool off but you don’t have to! My hair isn’t super blonde but the parts that are don’t turn green since i was my hair right after. I would talk to your hair stylist, they will likely be able to help you out more than me :)

[@audreyw4169]

starting as a lifeguard todayy ❤

[@hxssan0495]

Any tips for future life guards I have only 6 months until I’m old enough to be a life guard at my local YMCA

[@AlisonMcNamara]

Hxssan04 Just make sure you are paying attention in the lifeguard certification class and while you are guarding! It’s a super fun job, just make sure you are watching the pool and not getting too distracted! bring water and something to do on break and just be smart and have some fun with it! Good luck!

[@hxssan0495]

Alison McNamara okay thank you so much!

[@lucvance4862]

Ayy I'm also a lifeguard!!!!

[@rjs6663]

Great video 😎 Question say your a lifeguard and your on pool for 1 hour what is adequate time to refresh yourself fill your water bottle up etc before going back on pool. Is 10min to little to refocus?

[@goddesselaine1269]

How do I take my life guarding test? Would I sign up and pay online or go to a facility in person?

[@AlisonMcNamara]

it all depends on where you live! for me i went on red cross’s website and was able to see where i could take the class near where i lived so i then signed up at the ymca near me. hope this helps!

Your video editing software should enable you to adjust the levels of the music track and the voice to be more nearly equal, for the comfort of your viewers.

[@Charlie-p7r7n]

I did this job while studying paramedics at uni, I wasn’t a fan. I had been a beach lifeguard in Australia it was more enjoyable.

Hey remember Hayden?

Who the fuck is Hayden

[@m1kus960]

Hi, are you still working as a lifeguard? Do you like this job? If you are no longer a lifeguard, what do you do now? Just curious.

[@abbibrown701]

Was the test you had to take to become a life guard hard sorry I’m am a little late to see this video, I wanna be a guard next summer

[@AlisonMcNamara]

depends on how good of a swimmer you are! for me it wasn’t too bad, just make sure you are able to tread water for a long period of time and can swim multiple laps of a pool! thanks for watching and hopefully this helped a little

[@gobobcatsattexasstate6273]

not at all. As long as you’re in general good shape, it’s easy to pass. Not fun, but not hard. You got it!

[@ElijahJohnsonDrums]

@Lincoln Withrow I also had to rescue a dummy from the bottom and put on gloves and do 2 rescue breaths within 1:30 in addition to what you said

[@leopardgal3337]

I recently got hired as a lifeguard I did my training though stargaurd elite aka the most intense training apparently we are above American Red Cross and Ellis

[@AlisonMcNamara]

wow how was it? lifeguard certification can be crazy haha i think i have to get rectified this season and i’m not ready haha

[@williamssportsworld1537]

Hi Allison, my name is William, I’m a youtuber like you, I was thinking about becoming life guard this summer after I ended up quitting my junior firefighting job in Elkridge Maryland after 6 years with my team, but Covid ruined my opportunity to become a lifeguard this year, Is there any specific training I would need to go through to become a lifeguard in the future?

[@AlisonMcNamara]

I would recommend taking a Red Cross certification course! It does depend on where you are hoping to work but Red Cross is your best bet! Good luck!

[@williamssportsworld1537]

I think one of my friends named Logan is a lifeguard at two different pools where I live in Maryland in Howard County, I’m seeing him next Saturday, I think I might ask him what training I might need

[@jah96]

Nice pool, we only have one desk to share everyone's belongings😕😕

[@veronicac8003]

very interesting :) when did you become a lifeguard

[@rebecalugo3600]

Girl why you sound so out of breath after you got ready😭

[@AlisonMcNamara]

bahaha I had been running up and down my stairs trying to grab stuff and then I re-filmed that part like so many times I sound so out of shape I promise I am not (well maybe just a little)

Do you have to be really good at swimming to be a lifeguard?

How much does lifeguard pay

[@musicislife7464]

Are your rotations always 15 min?? I’m a lifeguard / swim instructor ours are usually 20 min and depending 30 min. I’m just curious what y’all do?:)

[@AlisonMcNamara]

so our rotations are always 15 mintues because we always have enough guards on duty to make that happen! with the amount of chairs we have and the number of guards on duty we are able to do 15 minutes every shift :)

[@musicislife7464]

@@AlisonMcNamara Ah ok that’s cool:). So how many stands do you typically have up and then how long are your breaks ?

[@AlisonMcNamara]

@@musicislife7464 so depending on how busy it is we have between 2 and 4 stands up but it is usually 3 stands. if it's 3 stands we have 5 life guards and we do 30 min up, 15 down, 15 up, 15 down, and then repeat. its 30 min up because of the location of the chairs and then we have an adult swim so sometimes its only 15 up every time it really depends. (its super hard to explain so sorry if this is confusing)

[@musicislife7464]

@@AlisonMcNamara I think I understand lol..? It’s ok .. I was just wondering what other pools do . Haha . So do you go stand to stand for 15 min which would equal 30? And then 15 min break and then go back up again? Or do you guys double rotate? We always do 20’s and on the even numbers so we don’t get confused lol. Also what’s state are you in? I’m from Florida :)!
