Lifeguard CRC: Still have fond memories of my time there

Lifeguard

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay for part-time student, learn valuable skills, regularly train in life saving and swimming, meet lots of other fun people, see/work big events (duel in the pool/winter nationals), flexible scheduling. Loved my time there obviously.

Cons

Early start for morning shift can be difficult. It can be a little slow when theres one person swimming laps and you're on stand but that's only 20 min at a time. there was no employee parking at CRC so I had to park in my designated area on campus which wasn't so bad for me but I can see that being an issue depending on your parking pass. I'm honestly thinking hard trying to come up with something more significant. No real cons.
