He’s late for this. But if he has his certification, he may be able to get part time work subbing for others.[/quote]

maybe not - I saw Martin Luther King Pool in Silver Spring is hiring lifeguards.[/quote]

He's definitely not late.  I'm a teacher who has managed pools for 20 years and I can tell you most pool companies would hire him today if he's certified.  Most companies run lifeguard training courses all summer because college kids tend to leave by mid August and we need high school aged guards to keep us going through Labor Day weekend.  Visit the Red Cross website and use the "Find a Course" search function to locate a training course and get him certified.  It's good for two years so even if he doesn't work this summer he will be ready for next spring and won't have to juggle school and long weekends of training for a month. [/quote]

Agreed. My DD wasn't old enough for a lifeguard training course until August last summer, and after she completed it, the course instructor said anyone over 16 (she wasn't) could immediately apply for a job at the pool. One of her friends did, and got a job.

My DD's working as a lifeguard at a summer pool, and one of the guards has already been dismissed for too much horse play, and another quit because the work ended up being more than she could fit into her schedule. My DD's pool isn't hurting, but they would not be averse to hiring another lifeguard either.[/quote]
