I really want my daughter to become life guard trained. I don't need her to be a lifeguard, unless she wants to be. I do want her to the training to a safe swimmer, and be responsible in emergencies. I wish, honestly, that she had the red cross training that I started ages ago, but she has certainly become a great swimmer with the Olympic Way, and I am proud of her promotion to blue this summer.
A lifeguard in this program learns to develop four important qualities for life and in times of urgency:
1. knowledge
2. judgement
3. physical aptitude
4. ability
I have been impressed over the years of going to our local pool how mature, responsible, but still fun the lifeguards are. I would love for her to have that same mix of fun and responsibility. I am even prouder, because she finished the summer passing into bronze!
Way to go kid!
