Lifeguarding
Since I haven't updated my blog for such a long time I decided that it was time to put up something. So for the past 3 weeks I have been taking this lifeguarding class where you become certified to work as a lifeguard. I didn't think that it would be hard at all, but little did i know being a lifeguard is pretty tough. One thing you have to do is push your self all the way to the bottom of a 13 1/2 ft. deep pool, grab the victim and pull you and the victim up with a rope. It's pretty tough especially when your out of air and you have to bring another person up with you. The worst is doing that but as a spinal. You have to kick up sideways so it takes twice as long. I would say thats the hardest thing but other people really like it. Anyways tomorrow is my last day and if I pass everything I will become certified and hopefully get a job as a lifeguard and the Bountiful Recreation Center! Hope you all have a great weekend!

That sounds way tough! good thing you're not fat, or you would have a hard time getting down there with all the extra floatablilty.
Well I'm glad to know you can save us all if we are drowning! Hannah might especially need your help, she has had a few close calls.
I hope that you pass. I think that you probably will with all the hard work you do. Good luck.
haha yup! I do try hard to keep those extra pounds off ;) Well I did pass! Although i had to do the submerged (what I talked about in my blog) twice, but everything worked out all I need now is a job.
