Summary
I started my first job as a swim instructor at 13 years old, started lifeguarding once I was of age, and have been certified for over two years. I changed lifeguarding jobs due to moving from MN to WA, and once again when finding a more permanent house in a different town in WA. I have had much experience in different areas, which has given me a greater understanding of the skills that are necessary.
