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

Age 15 on the last day of class covers most pool jobs, and waterfront or beach positions usually need 16. Employers in Scurry County can impose a higher floor, so look at the posting before you register.
What swim test do I have to pass?
Three elements: a continuous 300 yard swim, 2 minutes treading with legs only, and recovering a 10-pound brick from 7 to 10 feet and bringing it back. This happens at the very start of the in-person session, so come ready to swim.
