Lifeguarding / Instructor
Lethbridge,AB
Summary
I have always loved being a lifeguard. As soon as I was able to become certified I did. As a skilled Lifeguard I aspired to consistently remain calm and focused in stressful environments. I am committed to promoting safety in and around large bodies of water, and I am also certified in First Aid/CPR/AED. This job brings me a lot of joy and I would work very hard to be able to be the person you need at all times.
