Reflective Account On Being A Lifeguard

225 Words1 Page

This summer I am going to be a lifeguard at Wild Water West. I have been training for the last two weeks. I was taught how to make a rescue when there is a suspected spinal injury. The Ellis and Associates Company also trained us in how to open an airway and how to properly preform CPR on an adult, child, and an infant. In addition to CPR the class was taught how to preform artificial respiration, that is used when the you can feel a pulse but you cannot see the chest rise and fall. After all of the physical training when had to take a fifty question test to see if we had an understanding of what the rules and responsibility of being a lifeguard. In addition to working as a lifeguard this summer I am going to continue to work at the movies.
