Lifeguard is a seasonal job and it doesn’t really pay well unless you lifeguard on Babewatch. I always thought I’d like to be a lifeguard if it paid better. Back in 1980 I was between jobs and looking for work. I interviewed for a maintenance repairman job and was offered a job as head lifeguard. I didn’t really get to lifeguard very much once I got the pool painted and open. I ended up doing repair and remodeling work after the owner discovered my other skills. I mostly lifeguarded at private pool parties which required a lifeguard. It was a fun job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In normal years, we source our lifeguards from Eastern European countries, but in COVID times, that source of cheap labor is cut off. They are offering free certification and training, which I thought I might mention to my nieces, but figured it likely wasn't worth their time.

I tend to agree but I think it’s fair for people living along the Canadian border to complain about excessive heat just as those in AZ or SoCal to complain about a cold snap of prolonged freezing temps. I have never been to Boston but the MidAtlantic region definitely gets the dog days off summer and the winter chill. Not too many places get both like that region.

You can ride every day here as long as you take plenty of water and hit your favorite sports drink to replace the electrolytes you sweat out. Dehydration is the big killer here.
