Q: I want to take the test to be certified as a lifeguard. I only want to spend 1 day or 1 week doing this, not like a whole month, and I don't want to pay alot. Is this possible? and where can I get information and stuff. I tried googling it but it was hard and I didn't understand anything. Thank you soo much.

I'm also 14, turning 15 in 3 weeks.

you could try calling your towns community center
or public pool and maybe talk to the life guards there.
i think different towns might have different age standards for that. im not totally sure.
sometimes schools would have information like that too.
my friend did a lifeguarding program through my school. she took classes there and it took a couple weeks.
but thats about all i know about that.
i really hoped i helped.
if theres anything else..dont hesitate to ask. :]

you could try. i mean one week shouldnt be that big of a deal. they should let you do it.
but thats my opinion.
if they dont let you i guess the only other option is to wait a week, then do the course and by the end of it, youll be 15.

Thanks I went to my YMCA website and they said that you have to be 15 by the end of the course and if the course is like a week i'll be 15 in 2 weeks...do you think they'll still let me take it?
