[quote=Anonymous]Op, where are you ...ie VA? MD? The training is different for shallow water. The Watermine in VA will train kids because they need so many, but it is easier than the certification for a 12' pool. Since they only have depths of 3-4 feet, they aren't required to have the same swimming skills as a derp pool. But, they do hsve training updates all the time. They do have people fainting or getting hurt, but it might be less pressure. And they are NOT just spinning their whistles! You will see them bobbing their heads the whole time while they walk back and forth....they have been trained to scan their area in a certain visual sequence. They are not chatting at all...they are working and scanning the whole time. It is a big team effort. My kid is not a guard, but works there and really likes having a taste of responsibility and being part of a team.[/quote]
