    Great video. But lifeguarding isn't all about being fit and muscular. You should be ready for long hours in burning sun,ready to face any situatuon and to prevent incidents from happening by becoming a master of the beach conditions!

    So I’m from Kentucky but I dream of becoming a beach lifeguard. I have 6 years of working as a lifeguard in a water park, I’m a collegiate swimmer that swims a 1000 in 10:07 and I run a 5k in 19 mins. I have my lifeguard Red Cross certification but would I need to take another class for becoming a lifeguard on the beach?

      Hey Caleb, to be an ocean lifeguard anywhere in the US you need to try out with a respective agency like LA County. They have a swim test every year that's a competitive 1,000yd ocean swim. They take the top finishers depending upon how many they need for that year. Then you do an interview, physcial, background checks, drug tests, etc. before being appointed to an ocean lifeguard training academy.

    SWIM TEST TOPIC!! Let's start a thread!
    I'm in my late 20s, last year at my best I was swimming about 14:20 on the 1000Y (25Y Pool)
    My friends in LAC guards tell me I should average at least 15:00 to prepare for the swim try outs, so I thought I was doing okay.
    Spoke to a recruit the other day, he said we should be doing 10 X 100Y at 1:30 each minimum, and the top 20% are above 1:15 but the best do 1:05. I think he meant 1:05 for a single 100 because there's no way he meant 1:05/100Y times 10 for the 1000. Because my fastest sprint in the pool is 1:04 for 100 yards and to do that for 1000 might be bordering olympic level no? thoughts?

      @@lacolifeguards I'm just wondering what the average speed of the top 5% of swimmers really is usually. Is the 11:00 to 12:00 per 1K what I should really aim for to be among the fastest?
