[quote=Anonymous]I was a lifeguard at 15 and had a rescue within my first two weeks of work. An older guy swimming laps went unconscious and sank all the way to the bottom (10ft) of the pool like an anchor. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me but I will say my training clicked in and I did what I had to do. I was very petite but was able to bring him to the surface and get him to the side by myself. A co-worker helped me pull him onto the deck and we gave him rescue breaths while waiting for EMS to arrive. Fortunately he came to and rumor has it he had an undiagnosed seizure disorder. Bottom line, make sure she takes a reputable American Red Cross course and not one of those shady two-day classes some gyms offer. The course length should be between 30 and 40 hours. [/quote]
