I
first learned about lifesaving skills in high school. Since
I could swim, I went down to the lake and became a lifeguard.
Once I got sand in my shoes, I never left.

WATER brings all the principles and practices
of GO-FIRST “home”
to the global well of Life. Every lifeguard has the opportunity
to be a leader in respecting and renewing our water resources
and marine biodiversity. Consider all the ways in which an
open water lifeguard department interacts with its respective
ocean, river, lake, marina, bay or port. And think about how
a pool lifeguard is in the middle of a story about water resource
management – intake sources, outflow effects and interim
quality! Now make a list of how the lifeguards in both duty
posts can apply the concepts of RESCUE,
SAFETY, HEALTH
and SERVICE
to their local waterways.
