Thinking about applying for summer 2012 I have a few questions. I would be very grateful if a past lifeguard could answer them.
Sorry if this has been done but I looked and couldn't find them.
1. What is the typical shift like?
2. Do you have a specific part of the pool to watch or do you need to watch it all?
3. How does it work if you need to go to the toilet? Can you just leave your station?
4. How do you deal with guests who speak minimal English, it must be hard to tell them the 'rules'?
5. At what level does your water ability have to be at to be successful?
6. Is there any hostility between managers and the workers? Do you have to suck up to them to be respected?
7. Are there any pool rules? (When on holiday to Disney each lifeguard seems to have their own rules e.g. some allow you to play ball some don't, some allow you to climb up the slides some don't)
8. Are you allowed to wear swimming goggles at all?
9. When on shift, is there a lifeguard appointed to a role like head lifeguard who looks over all of the other lifeguards on duty?
10. If the unfortunate was to happen and someone died would you be held responsible in any way?
Thanks in advance
