I was seriously nervous going into my certification class but not even an hour into the first session I felt I had truly found a passion for lifeguarding. The instructors Issac, Orchid and Ethan were more than helpful when I had questions and walking others and myself through effective CPR and rescue techniques. This class not only provided me with the skills and certification needed to pursue a lifeguarding job, but also proved to be fulfilling and really fun!

It was a really fun experience. Doing the rescue hands on was definitely a lot different from watching the videos Orchid and Isaac was awesome! They made everything so much more fun in my opinion! It seemed really intimidating at first but day 2 it felt like we were having fun and really just playing in the water.
