Today was my final day of LGI (Lifeguarding Instructor) class. I started on monday with CPR review and teaching eachother. Tuesday we rented a county van and Andy drove us all to Manzinita pool and were in the water from like 9;30 to 1:00, swam a 500yd , then did all the rescues learned in LG training , then took turns teaching each other. Wendsday we met at flowwing Wells pool to do submerged and spinals, thentaought eachother again. Today was the final day , we had to turn in a lesson plan and teach the class a certain topic. Then we did the AED's and infant CPR/obsrtucted airways, next was the oxygen tanks. After that we had our test on everything ,First Aide, life guarding, rescues, heart rythms, different teaching methods, everything an instructor should know. That was the final exam , it had 100 questions and you could only miss 20. Well i passed and will now be an LGI. Which means i will be certified to teach and sign off on the following classes; Lifeguarding, CPR, Disease prevention, AED essentials, Community Water Safety.
So there is an up coming Redcross Lifeguarding training class in sept. , so that's what i might be doing!

I was nervous at first because there where 7 other people that were all 19 or older and all but one were head guards , But i did it any way!!
