one advantage of nobody on here knowing me is i can ask yall to wish me luck in qualifying for a lifeguard certification course while knowing ill feel minimal shame if/when i dont pass ghe precourse
#god. before actually starting the course you have to do the PREcoursw#in which you swim 300 yards and tread water for 2 mins without using your hands#and then you have to swim 20 meters do a surface dive 7-10 feet to retrieve a 10lb brick swim back 20 meters on your back w both hands on#the brick and then exit the water without use of steps or a ladder#im able to do all these things but the main issue fpr me is stamina:/#like. i did ballet 9 years so i know my body really well + generally am a fast learner so im totally cramming flr this precourse#and like. having to learn how to use my body efficiently since the muscle memory for swimming just. isnt there#ALSO. the brick thing is timed. you have 1 min 40 secs to do it (or 100 secs)#im like. SUPER blessed tho cause my mom a) was a lifeguard for a couple summers and b) has AMAZING memory#so we've gone out to a local pool and have been practicing and shes been SO helpful#and its been nice having this thing to sorta bond over#she timed me doing the brick thing tonight and i did it in just under a minute so. thats GOOD to know cause ive heard the brick thing#is the one ppl fail at most. im mostly worried about the 300 meters cause i have issues pacing myself so mostly swimming laps has been more#about learning efficiency and pacing. which ive quickly gotten better at/a general sense for but. yeag#also a lifeguard said i looked really good and she was sure id do great which was super nice :DDDD#but. yeag#just general issues with pacing/not overexerting myself. wish me luck yall ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ
