Want to show you have the skills to be a top-notch lifeguard? This pre-test is necessary for the Lifeguard Training course activities 10645 and 10616 (both pre-test and course must be taken at the same facility). Must be at least 15 years old. Participants must demonstrate the following: 1. Swim 300 yards continuously, demonstrating breath control and rhythmic breathing. 2. Tread water for 2 minutes using only the legs (hand placed across chest under armpits). 3. Must complete a timed event within 1 minute 40 seconds. Starting in the water, swim 20 yards then surface dive, feet-first or head-first, to a depth of 7 to 10 feet to retrieve a 10-pound object and then swim 20 yards on back, with both hands holding the object, and finally exit the water without using a ladder or steps.
