Answer 2

Alright. If you are determined to swim a miles, that's fine. since you are becoming a lifeguard, I'm guessing you can swim well. Start with a mile to a mile and one half and climb and you progress. If you what my view, you are better off just swimming a bunch of different things using times and different distances to reach over a mile. This way you will have more fun and it will make things more difficult. I hope i helped!!!
