People making a big deal of nothin That lifeguard test sounds really easy, that’s nothing hard in the slightest This applies to the ones talking about what it actually is too in the comments
@@Emily-ec5hz yeah we had to do 12 laps in a full length pool with no breaks and the brick test was also different and then all the save techniques we also did the 2 minute tres at the end when we were already exhausted
@@katev2753 yeah the tread in the middle of the laps killed me. we did 7 laps and then 2 minute tread and then 4 more laps and the brick we did in a spring because we also had our spring certification
@@MightyMouse982 The test depends on who your getting certified with and what course your doing. From what I can tell this is a swimming pool chain of some kind that does their own certifications. Most pools follow the American life guarding association or American Red Cross standards. I can’t speak for the ALA but I do know it’s pretty similar to test for Red Cross which I do know. You’ll do a 200 swim either freestyle/front crawl or breaststroke. Stop and tread for 2 minutes without hands. Then do another 100. After that you’ll do the brick test where you have to swim 20 yards in the pool then dive down to a 10lb brick that’s at least 9ft deep retrieve it then swim back to where you started put the brick on the side along with the brick and do all of that in 1:40. That’s the pre-requisite test for the standard lifeguard cert. At the end there’s a final exam and final skill assessment where you have to go through the steps of a save. It’s kept secret so you don’t know what to expect. I hope this helped out - Red Cross LGI
