A blog dedicated to and about the life guarding world. I will be sharing life saving methods both on land and in water, giving common life and death scenarios to help educate the community, and giving a peak at what a day as a lifeguard looks like during the season. Hopefully at least one reader takes these skills learned and saves a life one day or even becomes persuaded enough to join the life guarding community and help save lives daily!

Integrating Lifeguarding Quotes
As time goes on, more and more community's are slowly starting to realize how important their lifeguards actually are to the community. Just over the summer of 2014 at Centennial Park Aquatic Center, there has been over 300 recorded saves (Seidelmann, Head Pool Manager). That being said, more and more communities (including The Village Of Orland Park) are giving their lifeguards larger raises. In fact, in 2013, Centennial had increased their lifeguards' pay raise from 10 cents to 50 cent a year as a thank you to the guards for the thousands of lives that have been saved and gone without notice. Now not only do lifeguards feel more appreciated by the village, but a 4th year returning lifeguard will now be making $10.50 and not $8.90 which is more of an incentive to stay with the village or not be forced to find a higher paying job and be forced to leave Centennial.
