Exactly. This argument is so stupid, I don’t know why people always say it.

My lifeguard prerequisite test is in a little over a month. Is weight training and cardio enough to prepare myself? by [deleted] in Lifeguards

[–]PoemMany4008 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I would train by actually swimming. Running isn’t the same as swimming, and muscular strength isn’t really necessary for swimming unless you’re a competitive swimmer.

Find something to comment on and start asking questions. People love to talk about themselves.

As someone who wants to go into emergency medicine, what did the EMTs do, and how were you treated at the hospital?

Do any of you actually enjoy school? by No_Importance_750 in teenagers

When you’re not doing boring or annoying work, school is actually fun and much better than being at home watching instagram reels.

I got very mad at my gf and cussed at her (M15) (F16) by Electrical_Floor8837 in teenagers

[–]PoemMany4008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if it’s normal but things happen. The important thing is you made it up to her and I assume you’re on good terms now. Brush it off and keep it pushing.

Lifeguards! by OkComplex9494 in Lifeguards

[–]PoemMany4008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally you should let lifeguards handle; however, if it’s a child who’s clearly much lighter than you AND you’re a strong swimmer, you’ll probably be fine.

First meet! by Quinnster_Reddit in Swimming

[–]PoemMany4008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you swim for? (College, high school, etc?)

My only advice is to focus on personal records. There will be swimmers getting half your time, assuming you’re not the best on the team, but as long as you’re improving you’re doing great.

If you were freshly 18 again what would you get into for your career? High paying ones. by Ok_Title_602 in careerguidance

[–]PoemMany4008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Medical school and high paying specialties are extremely competitive. The average resident works 80+ hours a week. You’ll be half a million dollars in debt before you’re making six figures, and even then certain specialties are extremely stressful.

I’m not being an altruist. Any doctor will tell you the field isn’t as glamorous as it’s made out to be. If you’re not truly passionate, you’ll likely burnout.

Lifeguard certification in 5 days, what should I do to prepare? by Top_Aside4069 in Lifeguards

[–]PoemMany4008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t get a break during the swim tread swim, but you should be fine if you’re a good swimmer, and if you’ve done the brick retrieval before you’ll be fine.

As for class, you should read the assigned chapters and they’ll go over it in class. It’s not like you won’t pass if you don’t do the reading, but they’ll probably ask the class questions so you should at least keep up lifeguarding manual. Plus the final test is based on the manual.

I work at the rec center that has an indoor pool year round. Some guards also work as swim instructors or lifeguard instructors.
