hurricane harbor: I want to apply for a summer job at Hurricane Harbor in Valencia, CA. Does anyone know what the physical requirements are for being a lifeguard, like what tests you'll have to perform.|||Well, quite a few water parks go under Ellis & Associates, which is a lifeguard licensing company. They require shallow guards to swim 50 yds, dive for a 10 lb brick, and pass rescue, CPR, and written tests. Deep guards have to swim 100 or 200 yds (can't remember which), dive in the deep end for a 10lb brick, tread water without the use of arms for two minutes, and then pass the same types of tests as shallow guards. I would assume that this is the standard type of testing and requirements for most lifeguard licensing companies, like Red Cross and the like, so hopefully this gives you a basic idea of what to expect. No matter what, you're going to have to go and train & get your license to work, but they will most likely offer a class or tell you where to go to get your certification. Sorry I wrote so much!|||you need basic life guard training first
