My Summer

One interesting thing I did this summer was become a certified lifegaurd.  I had to go through 7 hours of training in the water and I had to go through 9 hours of in class training.  In the water we had to preform rescues that quickly and safely helped the victim out of the water.  Not only did I have to get them out of the water but I also had to preform out of water rescues such as CPR.  One of the scariest procedures I had to do was preform a lost swimmer search.  This is when everyone who is certified is called to the lakeside, swim suit or not, to comb the bottom of the lake expecting the worst.  All in all it was a great experience and worth the work.
