Lifeguard or Swim Instructor? whats the pay

Question

so i live in canada and here if you have a bronze cross cert. you get to choose either a course to be a lifeguard or swim instructor. I'm really not sure which one to pick! :( i definately do NOT have enough time to do both

which one is more appealing? and what's the pay for them?

Answer 1

You're much more likely to get a job with NLS. There aren't many pools that will hire an instructor with their Bronze Cross because they would have to  hire guards to supervise the lessons. That being said, you will make more with your instructor course as the pool will actually be making a profit from your services.

Personally, I got my NLS before my instructors, but it's totally up to you.
