Summary

I am a professional lifeguard with a strong ability to maintain composure in emergencies and exceptional problem-solving skills, especially in high stakes environments, ensuring successful public safety and keeping to protocol. Skilled in independent working and team operations, with a proven tolerance to stressful situations. Additionally I have experience in fitness maintenance, and managing early morning starts, keeping standards at their peak even when working at early hours.

I am an accomplished Lifeguard with experience in pool and leisure centre operations for over 3 years, and have learnt to deliver clear instruction to members and staff alike, managing team members and keeping protocol on shift. Dealing with the public and ensuring that they experience the best service we can provide is a valuable skill I have learnt, and putting the customer first is something I pride myself and my team on delivering.


Motivated and eager to offer high attention to detail as well as commitment to safety. Also experience managing assigned tasks with focus on meeting needs for specific situations, as well as experience in changing plans quickly to deal with a changing situation.


Overall I am an accomplished leader among my peers, and have learnt to master a balance between independent roles and team roles depending on the situation. At a pool, safety is the priority, and making sure that standards are upheld at all times is a must.
