As a Lifeguard, to go up on the chair and put myself to service the local community has been a new challenge that implied not only the supervision of swimming pool activities but also performing rescues of active and/or passive victims, either under water or surface including among others the handling of victims with neck injuries, and taking them safely to land. I have been trained by The American Red Cross in Miami to perform those duties. My responsibilities include among others:

Supervise the aquatic facility Handling first aid problems
Assist and report all disciplinary problems to the head lifeguard
Assist the pool operator in maintaining the chemical and filtration equipment, as well as the aquatics facility environs.
Control supplies and equipment that needs to be repaired or replaced
Maintain control of the posted bathing load
