Another Week Gone By

So another week has gone by since I last updated. Once again I have been very busy. Here is a recap of the week

Monday: First day of lifeguard training with Ellis and Associates. Half the day was spent out of water learned the basics. The second half of the day was spent in water learning the different types of saves depending on the water depth and if the person is conscious or unconscious

Tuesday: Second day of lifeguard training. Once again half the day was spent out of water and half in water. During the out of water time we learned and practices how to perform adult, child and infant CPR, along with how to use an AED. For in water we learned how to use the backboard for both unconscious extrications and spinal injuries. We also learned how to check for breathing while waiting for someone to come help.

Wednesday: Third and final day of lifeguard training. The first part of the day was spent in water practicing everything we had learned over the last two days. The second half of the day was spent taking tests. First we had the group save test, then we had the CPR tests, and finally the written test. Afterwards we signed some papers and officially became licensed lifeguards for Walt Disney World.

Thursday and Friday I was off from work. I spent my time relaxing and going to the parks and pool as well as hanging just out with the boys and Alicia being our usual selves. We went to Hollywood studios and had tons of fun riding the rides and just having fun and not worrying about work.

Saturday I had my first day of work on location. It was mainly just a tour of the facilities and making sure that we knew where certain things were.

Sunday: This was my first day of On The Job Training. It was another day where we learned the basics of the location. We learned how to check the Trauma bags as well as set up the stands to open. I worked from 7:30 until 18:00 and moved between two of my 3 different pools.

We were at Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness today. Tomorrow I will be at the Contemporary which is the last of my 3 locations. Hopefully everything goes well and I hope everyone is having as much fun as I am. My hours are ridiculously crazy this week so I probably will not update for another week.

HAVE A MAGICAL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
