Being a lifeguard? |
if your a lifeguard and someone just went off the diving board and they couldn't swim then would the lifeguard just jump in and have there eyes open underwater or would they put some goggles on super fast. just wondering. thankx actually if you are being a "good" lifeguard... a) you wouldn't let the non-swimmer off the diving board in the first place. b) if the non-swimmer did manage to will himself off the board, your first course of action would be to reach or throw something to your victim. c) last resort would be to enter the water, in which case, no, your "comfort" is inconsequential. you "go" however you are. Red Cross still teaches "Reach, Throw, Go" and for the last 10 years or so, you "Go" with a flotation device strapped to you. no self respecting lifeguard would go to work with goggles. Source(s): 20 years teaching lifeguards They would jump in as a first reaction there is no time for looking for the googles. have ur eyes open under water, u wanna get them out as quickly as possible certified lifegaurd this should explain::: say your house catches on fire, and you have to save your family. would you grab you valuables before saving you family or just go and save your family? lifeguards don't wear goggles. I took all my lifeguard classes with my contacts in and didn't lose them when I went under water for the rescues. Even if I did, at least a life would be saved. |
