As a Lifeguard for Baltimore City Recreation and Parks I learnt many social a first aid skills. Working a free public pool I had to help many different people and keep them safe. I was part of a larger team, which complimented my communication and team work skills. I did a full first aid and CPR course, becoming certified by the Red Cross. An important aspect of the job is clearly communicating safety rules with patrons, regardless of age. Stressed in my training was being able to quickly, calmly, assess and respond to situations. As a sailing instructor I learn how to safely and lawfully operate watercraft and pass my knowledge on to my students in a personalized manner.
