Kyle decided to try to get a job at Folsom Lake as a Lifeguard this summer. He had a couple of friends try it last summer and they didn't get past the first test...he figured he would try just to see if he could past the first fitness test if so fine...if not...he had a good workout!
He had to initially do a swim/run fitness test. (You have to swim 1000 yards in under 20 minutes, then do a run, swim, run test, and complete that in under 20 minutes.
These tests are where a lot of kids don't pass.
Most of the people trying to get the job were all college students, Kyle was the only 16 year old.)
Then they had a formal interview. After he passed that, there was an 8 day/10 hour day training in Southern California for all the Lifeguard trainees all over California. It was gruelling and he was so glad when it was finished. He successfully met the standard of inland training including open water rescue, search and recovery, paddleboard.

Advanced first aid, CPR, AED and Oxygen Therapy.
It was a grueling week but worth the $15 per hour he gets working at the lake!
Too bad it’s only a seasonal job!
All that training will come in handy this fall when he does R.O.P. Law Enforcement.
