How to prepare for lifeguard training and stop stressing over it.?

Not all lifegaurds are super fast swimmers. I'm not even of life-gaurding age yet, and I can swim faster than most of the lifegards at the pool i swim at (I've been competitively swimming year-round since I was 5.) I've seen the lifegaurds train and they look like their having a lot of fun, plus they make more money than your average working teenager. Relax, all lifegaurd have to do some sort of training and almost everyone finds it hard. Just do your best and even if your not good at first, you'll get better, trust me!

Stop worrying and start doing something positive with the time you have before the class starts. If you are concerned about being able to keep up with the swimming, start swimming laps NOW. If you can't get to the pool, do some core exercises or pilates. You are going to be taught skills you'll need to potentially save someone's life. Let that sink in for a minute. Either you're up to the challenge, or you're not. You decide.
