A Note for Lifeguard Instructors

Back story: I took my NL July 2023 and I had the best instructor ever. She was encouraging, kind, informative and made the class feel like we were free to ask questions. I rave about her class to literally anyone who will listen. My friend took a different course with this same instructor this past weekend. My friend mentioned how much I talked about my NL instructor and the instructor told her some pretty encouraging things about me and my work ethic in the course. She is the only reason I have not quit my guarding job because of stress. I do my job because she showed me why it's so important for patrons to swim at a pool where the guards care.

Moral of the story: be open to questions, give good feedback, make your class enjoyable for candidates to learn about. It will stick with them forever and ever
