Lifeguard Training Help!?

Question

i'm 16. this is my first time ever taking the american red cross lifeguarding class! the brick and the swimming was easy! but some of the rescuing techniques are confusing! they try to rush everything! i'm the only one not getting how to do some of the rescue techniques out of the whole class! i also am afraid that i'm not going to pass the test! i feel like an idiot, a nervous wreck and a r****d!

any advice? please help! i feel like crying b/c i try really hard to get it all.

Answer 1

If you have a friend who has been through the class, ask them to run through it with you on your own time.  Ask the instructor if you can borrow the video and review/practice at home or on your own.  You could ask the instructor for some one on one time.  It sounds like you really want to get it and that gets people excited to give a little more.  Good luck!
