Lifeguarding jobs?

Question

im certified but ur supposed to be at least 15 to get certified but my mom knew the instructer so i got into the class even though im 14 ... can u think of a pool where i could get a job at anyway??

thx ;)

Answer 1

I don't think so, how soon will it be until you turn 15? In my area you have to be 16 in order to lifeguard. Some pools have different rules, I'd look into some places where to lifeguard before you took the class.

Answer 2

the YMCA maybe!

Answer 3

yeah sure

if you get hired by a person willing to break the law

Answer 4

You need to be physically able to get a drowned person (even a fat person) out of the pool.  If you have decent upper body strength, perhaps.  Bear in mind, however, there are child labor laws that come into play.  If you are not allowed to work as many hours as a 15 year old, why would a pool hire you over a 15 year old?  Good luck.  If lifeguarding is your dream, don't let anybody, not even me, discourage you.  You can always try.
