"In my current lifeguard position, I was given the opportunity to take a class in empathetic listening. This skill is one that everyone should have, in a people-facing role. I learned a lot about consistent and professional messaging when dealing with customer disputes, and with children."

It is essential to a hiring company that you are someone who is willing to learn new skills. Being eager to add to your professional repertoire is an excellent way to stand out from the competition. Some new skills related to customer service can range from linguistic to communication, to software capabilities. If there is a skill that you want to learn, and have not yet taken advantage of, you can mention your interest.

"The last customer service skill that I learned included a course on dispute resolution management. I feel this course helped me a great deal when it comes to my confidence level, and working with disgruntled people who do not feel the pool rules apply to them. I want to take the advanced level of this course, as a follow-up."

The last customer service skill I learned was my when my guest complained about the tides. I had a business in the Philippines, and we accommodated guests. It was low tide when they arrived. It took a few hours before they arrived at the bungalow.
After they left, we both had a chance to review how they were as a guest and how we were as a host. She was upset because of the tides. I tried to explain politely and calmly that we listed in our guide that tides are one of the things they have to consider if they stay with us.

Your story is a good example; however, if feels incomplete and a touch scattered. Try to arrange your thoughts and craft this in a way that the interviewer could follow.
"As the owner of a dive school in the Philippines, I had many opportunities to learn about customer service delivery. One factor that I could not control was the ocean tides. In my tourism business listings, I address that the tides will be different, depending on the time of year that the tourists visit. One time that I recall, a guest was very upset about the tide level. I did the best I could to explain the situation and accommodate the guest during her stay. One thing I learned from this situation was that it's best to ensure all guests have clear expectations set at the time of booking."
