As a supervisor lifeguard, it was my job to train new lifeguards on how to watch the water and handle calls for service on the beaches. Furthermore, I patrolled multiple beaches and was in charge of multiple lifeguards and different zones on the beach while responding to medical emergencies or calls for service. As well as operating vehicles in an emergency to save others, whether it be trucks, jet skis, or atvs.
