Will I be guarding a pool or open water in Scott County?

Pool employers generally want candidates to be 15 by the final day of the course, while waterfront and beach roles usually start at 16. Some employers in Scott County set the bar higher, so read the job posting before booking.
What swim test do I have to pass?
