So, you've taken our Assess Your Swimming Skills quiz and you're eager to dive deeper into the world of lifeguarding. Whether you aced the quiz or found areas you need to work on, we're here to support your journey every step of the way.

First, let's talk about swimming proficiency. As our quiz indicates, lifeguarding requires a certain level of swimming skill. You need to be comfortable swimming at least 500 yards non-stop, treading water for at least 2 minutes, and retrieving a 10-pound object from a depth of 7 to 10 feet. If you're not quite there yet, don't worry! Consider taking some swimming lessons to improve your skills.
