Get Rescue Ready, Stay Vigilant, and Expect the Unexpected. Welcome to the beginning of summer 2021! We know you are excited to start the season and might be a little bit nervous too and that’s okay. Your training has prepared you for this! Just remember to use what you have learned from lifeguard class, brush up on your skills, and…
If you spend your summers twirling a whistle and constantly smelling like chlorine, then you might find yourself or someone you know on this list. Take a look! 1. The Whistleblower via GIPHY No running! No splashing! No flips off the high dive! The Whistleblower, AKA The Rulebook, whistles first and asks questions later. That’s this person’s mentality, which…
Looking for a good scare this spooky season? Hold your breath and dive into one of these aqueous atrocities! 13. The Meg (2018) Rating: PG-13 A crew of marine biologists discovers a megalodon, thought to be extinct for over 2 million years. It’s a big shark. No, a REALLY big shark. And it’s very hungry.

It takes a lot of concentration, hard work, and maybe the occasional slice of pizza. So, when people think it looks so easy, here’s what we’re not telling them. Our Eyes are on the…
It’s hot. VERY hot. This is your third time guarding the diving well today. Your voice starts to feel hoarse as you tell a kid not to belly flop off the one-meter board for the umpteenth time today. You’re alert but aggravated to the nth degree! Worse yet, the opening guard just polished off the last slice of pizza. Let’s…
Going out on duty? Better gear up first to beat the heat.
