Question

Do you have to be a lifeguard at the beach/pool in summer?

Answer 1

No, but I am one!! TOTALLY recommend it!! How come you're asking??

Uh... Cuz I watched a show on netflix about a teen boy (he's older than me) travelled to Malibu to be a lifeguard and I saw your post on KT about being a lifeguard. So, that's why I asked this question

---

Oh, cool!! Was the show "Malibu Rescue??" I loved that one!! :p

Answer 2

Nope. You can be one, but you don’t have to be one. Unless your parents make you be one.

My parents don't even know it exist as a summer activity

---

What the-

Well, not all people know that lifeguarding is a summer job. I’m pretty suprised your parents don’t know that though.

---

Because in Vietnam, the government doesn't allow any adults to force kids doing hard jobs that they supposed to do

---

I can’t tell if that’s supposed to be good or bad.

---

It's a really fun job, actually!!

---

But... I need to look really closely and clearly plus acting quickly (but I can't cuz I have glasses and I can not swim or run that quick)

---

Get waterproof glasses??

---

I just got prescription sunglasses today, and you don't need them when you hit the water. And just like any skill, you have to work to swim and run quickly, and it's achievable!!

---

I thought you couldn’t run near the pool…

---

I thought CheerlessCheerleader is working at the beach, not the pool

---

Haha!! Patrons can't, but we do!!

---

I was just about to explain XD.

---

That does make a little sense.

Answer 3

Nope. Some are. But you don't have  to.

Comments

Uh... My parents don't like to see us doing that

---

Doing what?? 

---

Yah what? Swimming?

---

I mean they don't want to see us being lifeguards, they just wanna see us swimming and having fun in the water

---

They want to see you just being a kid. And that's good because you won't be one ever again.

---

Well maybe if you asked them and explained!

---

That sounds reasonable!! You can't even become a lifeguard until you are 15, anyways.

Answer 4

No. I know Cheer is, but nobody has to be one. Hail, I don't have the swimming ability to do so !

Comments

Me either!

---

"Hail" XDXDXDXD GIRL JUST MADE MY WEEK XDXD

---

My catchphrase.

---

What’s a catchphrase?

---

A phrase that a person always says and is signature to that person.

---

I don’t have one.

---

Lol, neither do I.

---

Yeah you do, it’s “lol”!

---

Catchphrases are useless

---

But they're fun!! :/
