Lifeguards

Last Saturday morning was the recertification for returning life guards and try outs for new/assistant life guards at Leo. I couldn't miss it, even though I was up late for a wedding gig the night before. I missed the recertification, but was there in time for the try outs. It was so gloomy and cold. Believe it or not, I actually lightened all the pictures I'm posting and they are still dark! The potential guards had to swim out to a buoy and back (pretty far out). Next, there was a run on the beach, swim around 2 buoys, and run on the beach to the finish. It was AWESOME to watch. Couldn't believe some people were in speedos. The water was freezing! The photo of the lone runner is Makena's favorite assistant Spencer, from last summer. He did great! Spencer was amazing with the kids last year, so patient and fun. The smiling girl in the group picture is Gianna, another assistant from last Summer. She out swam and out ran most of the guys. She has an amazing work ethic. Can't wait for Summer!
