You may be looking for a lifeguard job. Or perhaps you've already found a job like this (Congratulations! You just got a job as a lifeguard!). The problem is HOW to become a lifeguard? Lifeguards guard the swimmers both on the beach and by the pool. This is a great job for the summer (or all year round)!

Steps

1. 1 First, you must know what a lifeguard is. A lifeguard is a person tasked with overseeing a swimming area such as a pool or beach. You must have some information before you get started. So, find information about lifeguards.
2. 2 So, if you can't swim, learn. If someone is drowning and you cannot swim, then what is the point of being a lifeguard? Even if you are an adult, it is very important to be able to swim. Talk to a swimming coach.
3. 3 On the beach or by the pool, watch for signs that someone needs help. If you see a large group of people by the water, check them out. Listen; you can hear screaming, screaming and crying. These are the signs you should be looking for.
4. 4 Learn to do artificial respiration. It may sound disgusting, but you are rescuing people who have just nearly drowned, and you must give artificial respiration. Search the internet for how and where you can learn to do this.
5. 5 Be ready. Don't think that you won't see if someone is drowning. This is the biggest mistake some rescuers make and end up noticing drowning people too late. Bring items that may be useful to you and always be there.
6. 6 Remember, if being a lifeguard is not your job, then you don't have to study. If you don't like swimming, this job is not for you. Don't do it for the money, but work to be a hero.

Tips

• When you save the child, then you need to explain to him what he did wrong and ask him not to do it anymore.
• Meet other lifeguards you work with. Make friends with them to save lives together and enjoy it.
• DO NOT SCREAM UNNECESSED! Perhaps it is appropriate to shout to a person who has swum too far into the sea, but not in relation to six-year-olds frolicking around. Politely ask the children to stop making noise.
• Searching the internet can really help you learn more. One click will take you to the appropriate page on wikiHow, where you will find information other people have left for you.
• Talk to your employer if you are having problems. Perhaps he can help.

Warnings

• BE AWARE! Many people die because the rescuer was not there at the right moment. Sometimes helping is as simple as handing a bottle of water to the child.
