"I took note of your fitness requirements, as outlined in your job description. It is with great confidence that I say I can exceed all of these physical demands. I go for a 5-mile run every morning and perform weight training three days per week. I am an avid swimmer, training as a member of our city's swim club on a weekly basis."

There may be a range of fitness requirements, depending on if the role is indoor, outdoor, or beach lifeguarding. As a baseline, most lifeguards should be very physically fit with the ability to run 200 meters in under 45 seconds, swim a 400-meter pool in under 8 minutes, and swim underwater for 25 meters or more without tiring. Discuss your fitness routine and physical capabilities while also remembering to offer to take their fitness test, should they have one.

"I am sure to work out every morning, which consists of cardio and weight training. I am confident that I will test in the top percentiles when it comes to underwater swimming, stamina, and running speeds."
