Lifeguard Duties

I'm a lifeguard, this is my summer job it's actually my first ever job. And I'm really enjoying it. So I thought I would show, you guys what's in my lifeguarding bag. And also what's in my lifeguarding a fanny pack. This is what I keep in the break room, I have access to it when I'm on my break and this. I have it with me all day. so I'm gonna show you guys what's in each of these. I hope you guys enjoyed this article and let's go ahead and get started.

So I actually wanted to start off showing you guys my uniform so I work at a water park in my town and it's been a lot of fun I've met a lot of new friends. So I'm really enjoying it, I wanna show you guys what I'm wearing so first to have my lifeguard trainingtank and um says the guard. if you can see so it looks like and I also have these blue shorts on I really like the uniform and I also have on a visor. Which I find really good because not only does it kind of pulled the whole look together but it also showed my face from the Sun and keeps me from burning.

It's really good and it just says guard on it and obviously, I have my whistle so this is just a blue whistle that's obviously very necessary to have this as a lifeguard. It's also recommended for me to wear a watch just to know the time and keep an eye on it. And it's also kind of makes the day go by faster when you know when you're gonna be able to leave so. I have an Apple watch luckily they are waterproof so that's super good.

l actually got to show you guys what I have to do throughout the day, there's actually a way you can release the water from the watch. If it gets in the speakers or every time you go in the water this is what, I do so what I do is I just flip up the screen and I go down to this little water droplet-looking thing and then. I turn the dial and all the water is out and it's also part of my uniform to have polarized sunglasses, so that's why I have to keep these on me at all times so that basically wraps up. Whatever is my uniform and for what I wear on my feet I have to have something comfortable and supportive on average a day.

I do about either 15,000 to 20,000 steps is insane I'm walking or standing all day so, I can't be in anything uncomfortable if. I'm not wearing leaves I'm barefoot so I have these Crocs and I also have these Adidas sandals. They've both been super great and I love wearing both of them sometimes, I wear the croc sometimes are the sandals. But I don't want to just wear one cuz I don't want to get weird tan lines so these are both super great. And I have been loving those now that I've kind of gotten, through my uniform.

I'm gonna start with what I keep in my breaker in the bag so if I'm being completely realistic and honest usually on a normal day of work. I will just bring in a drawstring bag it's a lot easier lighter but for this Article. I did want to show it and more of a bag like this, because there are more zippered pockets and it's not as unorganized. Where it's when I keep in this bag everything is kind of just shoved in there with no particular organization. So yeah I actually did use this about the first week or so when, I was working but I did find the drawstring bag to be a little more practical so that's why I use that now but I still do love this bag and it would be great.

If I didn't have the drawstring bag so let's get started I guess I'll start right here with the first zipper pocket in here the first thing. I have is this key with the lock, I actually bought this before I went in because I knew there is gonna be lockers in the break room believe it or not actually haven't used this it's just a lot of hassle to take the time to unlock it. When I could just open my locker and those are like vital minutes of my 20 minutes that, I have for a break so I just opted to not do it nobody ever locks up their stuff so for obvious reasons. I also have my employee pass so moving on to this pocket on the side it's probably one of the most important pockets of the bag that is because in here. I keep all of my sons Green I tried to go for the highest SPF so this is SPF 100. I also have face sunscreen which is the face mist also.

I have a sunscreen stick I use this if I'm in the break room and I don't feel like spring sunscreen and getting it everywhere and kind of annoying people with it because it's gonna smell up the whole break room. if I just start spraying myself I sound great so sometimes if there's a lot of people in there. I'll just opt for the stick and just put it everywhere also. I have a skin condition called eczema where my skin gets super dry and irritated so. I know this isn't the best job for that problem but it is what it is so, I actually bought this aqua for appointment spray it's one of the best purchases I've ever made.

I got it from Target it just I spray it on and it cools the skin it moisturizes the skin and I put it on right before. I do my sunscreen and it works really well so I really recommend this to anybody who has dry skin next up in here. I have to do Durance believe it or not you sweat in the Sun super hot in Texas especially, so I have these for obvious reasons I have a men's one in a woman's one I guess I usually opt for the men's cuz it works a little better but and last up in this pocket. You know it's corona time hand sanitizer is very important, I reach for this as much as I can because gotta keep your hands clean so I have this in there that about wraps it up for this pocket and now.

I'm gonna flip over to the other side pocket and show you what's in there in this pocket I keep my phone. I'm on my phone on my break just to kind of de-stress relax text my mom tell her what's going on and just catch up with me. Everything it's important to have your phone obviously also very essential to have your car keys to get to and fro work so.

I just keep these two things in that one pocket super easy access when I need them and now I'll go ahead and move on into the big pocket I keep a packed lunch in here. I just have a little bit of something each break I get so usually it's along the lines of like chips a fruit cup applesauce anything that kind of we have in the house.

I also usually pack some cookies in here my ball makes me a sandwich yeah and also in here as you can see. I kind of like to have a soda of some sort I have water when I'm on a stand but when I get to the break room. I feel the need to have something a little more sugary to kind of keep me going and keep me. Energized throughout the day so that's kind of what I have for lunch and the last thing. I have in here is a towel, I actually don't have a towel with me every day I mostly bring a towel when there's a chance of, there being a rain check so when I get back to my car.

I'm not soaking wet or if I want to swim after work anything like that there's an employee party I bring a towel but this isn't like an essential it a great to work every day so that is what's in my break room bag and now I'm going to move on to what's in my fanny pack so this is my fanny pack that I was given at work and as you can see the most obvious thing right here is my water bottle this is literally the best.
