Lifeguarding 101 Day #2

Okay, so today was day number 2. I have to tell you that Scott (our instructor) is very laid back and cool. But I also do have to state: He know his shit! lol.
So we started out with the video and book work. Enter: Jeff and Julie, the onscreen actors who talked us through the scenario's that were taking place on the screen. We learned about the FIND method and everything else.

After all of that we finally got in the pool to learn the correct ways to enter the pool from the side and from the lifeguard stand. We learned how to be the victim and how to save the victim. I partnered with a bunch of different people. I find that all the people in my class are pretty cool. I was the victim, primary lifeguard and secondary lifeguard in our situation with the passive victim and getting them out of the pool with the back board. That was interesting. I have a nice bruise on my wrist from that exercise.

All in all it was fun and cold day.

Next class we are covering chapters 6, 7, and 8. And other things I suppose.

Your future Lifeguard,
Penny Marie
