As most of you know this past weekend I tryed out for ocean lifeguarding. I basically thought I had the job because of how many people they needed to hire for the summer. Plus being a Junior Lifeguard and Cadet for 3 years gave me an advantage. None the less I did my best and placed 33rd on the pier swim and 27th on the Run/Swim/Run. Pretty good as most of the guys trying out were in college. I was one of the youngest trying out. So I got an interview and completely nailed it. But I was still on the fence as to whether I made the cut and would get an invite to training.
I got the disappointing news Tuesday night that I didn’t make it. However, the Lieutenant of the department (who I know) personally called me to give me the disappointing news. They were happy with my swim times & interview, but they had to many applicants who were faster than me. The bright side is that he told me that they want to come try out next year and most likely I will make it. So next year I will brave the cold water and do it all over again!!!
