| Publisher Description: First of all, it is not easy to become a Lifeguard. You have to learn / study / be tested on 300+ pages of material - a Lifeguard test and a CPR test plus the swim test. It's mentally and physically demanding training (At least it was for me.) One of the ways I made it through was to write about it. So this is my poetical version of Lifeguard training so don't use this to study by if you are taking Lifeguard training I am very proud to be a certified Lifeguard as I absolutely love the water. Am I a certified Lifeguard? I can proudly say - "Yes, I am " Sample poem: Step Seven: Swimming for FitnessTo execute a water based rescueyou must have adequatestrength and enduranceto increase enduranceyou must commit to regularconsistent workoutsswim 300 yards without stoppingat firstbuild up to a competitive mile1650 yardsor 66 lengths of the poolfocus on the intensityof your swimby doing intervalssame distancesame timeintervaleach doneat the samehigh level of effortrest periods in-betweenthe length dependingon the speed of the swimthe short rest periodkeeps the heart ratewithin the target rangewithout dropping to alresting heart rate.Interval trainingis the bestmethodtowards developingspeed and endurance.Copyright LB Sedlacek 2018 |
