I was a lifeguard/swim instructor when I was a teenager. It was the most awesome job on the planet. Got to wear a cool uniform, tons of chicks in swim suits, sit on your butt in a chair for the most part, it was kick butt. Being an instructor was cool too but I HATED getting the really small kids class. Teaching the mid color lvl (they still doing that btw? blue, red, grey, white, etc...?) and some Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross was much more up my alley.
After a few yeards, the l/g side got REALLY boring, standing on your feet all day can be tough when you didn't get the big chair and every now and again you would actually have to dive in to save some hack who wondered out to deep before the waves started (worked at a wave pool).
Great job though, really enjoyed the heck out of it. Congrats, hope it provides you with as much enjoyment and memories that it did for me.
