Jackson Blakemore
I am a lifeguard who has worked 3 summers for the City of Lewisburg TN. During my time as such became what is known as a veteran guard. Serving as an on sight aid to newer guards, I have also taught over 200 children in swimming lessons during my time here and have extensive job experience in the private swim lesson field. I am highly respected, looked up to and am one of the first responding guards in any situation due to my physical fitness and managerial skills. I have broken up fights multiple times and have had many in and out of water rescues, none involved the usage of life-saving preventative care, such as CPR.

BSA National Eagle Scout Award
I am part of a small 0.5% group of Americans known as Eagle Scouts. As such I am one of the few people who have achieved an exponentially difficult task of executing my Eagle project, full planned, budgeted, ran, and lead by me. My duty as and Eagle Scout is to serve with a compassionate heart and a good attitude with high class and work ethic.
