Lifeguarding Lessons

So today was my first day as a lifeguard at seven peaks.  It was only open for the owners birthday party, so it wasn't too crazy, but here are some lessons:

• The uniforms rock.  A bathing suit and a tank top all day? Yes please!
• Even with sunglasses, glare will still be a problem
• Seeing little kids face their fears is awesome! 
• Little kids in general are awesome!
• People expect you to know the answer to anything regarding slides/what is or is not allowed. So be prepared. 
• You will talk to people a lot, especially if you guard the water-slides. Be prepared to overcome any remaining traces of shyness. :P
• You WILL have to help clean up the park if you work the PM shift. 

So yeah....it was a fun night. :) Got to guard some awesome slides, got to laugh at kids' awesomeness...seriously....love this job!
