What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Seasonal Lifeguard, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Seasonal Lifeguard, you need strong swimming skills, first aid and CPR certification, and a thorough understanding of water safety protocols. Familiarity with rescue equipment, automated external defibrillators (AEDs), and pool management systems is typically required.
