I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A VERY GOOD SWIMMER - I COULD SWIM WHEN I WAS FOUR YEARS OLD - AND I LOVE SPENDING TIME AT THE BEACH. I KNEW I HAD TO FIND A JOB WHERE I WOULD SPEND A LOT OF TIME OUTSIDE. ONE DAY I SAW AN ADVERTISEMENT IN A MAGAZINE FOR PEOPLE TO TRAIN AS LIFEGUARDS. tHEY WANTED PEOPLE WHO WERE ABLE TOSWIM 400 METERS IN 8 MINUTES, WHO WARE VERY FIT AND WHO WERE QUICK TO ACT IN AN EMERGENCY. L APPLIED AND WAS OFFERED THE CHANCE TO TAKE THE TRAINING COURSE.
