Lifeguarding seems to be one of those jobs that every teenager has experienced or is currently experiencing. You go into it thinking you are just gonna get paid sitting in the sun and tanning while glancing at the water every now and then. Don't get me wrong, you are going to get a tan while sitting in the sun all summer, but there is much more to lifeguarding. And with all that lifeguarding brings, there are many things all lifeguards can relate to.

1. Your summer wardrobe consists of a swimsuit, flip flops, and a visor. Oh and don't forget about your whistle.

2. Those tan lines will likely last 365 days of the year.

3. Rainy days are the best days.

4. You really get to know your co-workers.

5. You have probably touched some really nasty things.

6. You just about have a heart attack every time a kid does a back flip off of the diving board.

7. "No running" slips when you are in public and see a kid running.

8. You are at the pool more than you are at your house.

9. You own ten bottles of sunscreen.

10. Deep down you really love your job.
