      How to Answer

      It goes without saying - if you want to be a lifeguard, you need to be a strong swimmer. The interviewer wants to confirm that you are a good swimmer. This question is an excellent opportunity to present any certificates you have received from training and workshops. If possible, bring such documents with you to the interview.
