As a lifeguard, it is my personal responsibility and duty to preserve the peacefulness and protect the lives of every patron that enters the pool. This holds true especially at Baker Park (Edward P. Thomas Jr. Memorial Pool), for the pool often reached maximum capacity within an hour of opening, not including the daily two hundred children we get from day campps, such as Boys and Girls club and YMCA.

In light of my, Erin McLendon, recent promotion to Head Lifeguard for the recreation center; I require additional training to fulfill my new position’s requirements.

I am asking for the consideration of a tuition reimbursement for additional training needed to properly execute the new position. Below will contain in
bummers (especially those lifeguards who just sit at the top of their thrones for the whole day). It’s not that they’re always ready to save someone; it’s just that they’re always at the shade. To be honest, I despise those teenagers that work as life guards. They always scold us (kids) when we do something which isn’t really life threating. I can still remember that day when my older brother pulled my hair and ran across the pool. Of course, I started chasing him, but the lifeguard blew the whistle, stopping

certified lifeguard. As a child I had always looked up to lifeguards as role models and heroes. I would envision myself as a lifeguard saving people from drowning and from the occasional shark attack, even though that is very uncommon. I knew then that when I was older I would try to become a lifeguard.

only mean one thing, summer is right around the corner. During the summer is when California State University of Fullerton student, Ruth Aristondo, goes back to her hometown to lifeguard over the summer. It’s an ideal summer job, getting a tan while working and the pay is good. The 21-yeard-old took interest in being a lifeguard just last year.

of 56 hour work weeks, with unideal conditions, in a wide variety of difficult environments. Over the summer I worked as a lifeguard after receiving my lifeguard and cpr certification. For several weeks over the summer I was working twelve hour days and sometimes 60 hour work weeks. I know what it is like to work a full day for weeks straight. I was the only lifeguard at the pool responsible of many tasks throughout the day that were completed without supervision. I can be trusted. While working
