a day in the life of a life guard

Life guarding is normally a pretty lax job, but some times it can get pretty crazy. at the pool that I got my tanning there were around 1 or 2 times when a life guard had to jump in the water (not including missing persons) and half the time the kid would be faking it. Missing persons happens a lot on busy days, when a parent reports a child missing life guards have to clear every one out of the pool and check the bottom of all he pools just in case. Besides that most of a life guards gob is preventing disaster not saving people from it.
