"When I was a child, I was at the pool every weekend. The lifeguards always made me feel safe and, to have the opportunity to now pass that on to other people would be a real pleasure and honor. From the research that I have completed, I understand that you have a brilliant training program, which is a must when performing such a critical role."

The interviewer wants to understand what drives your desire for a lifeguard role. Be prepared to provide reasoning that will stand out from your competitors. Your reasons for wanting to be a lifeguard should be constructive and positive, avoiding any wishy-washy or weak rationale.

"The role of a lifeguard appeals to me as I have always liked swimming. I have been a kids' swim coach for a couple of years and believe that between swim seasons, a lifeguard role would be perfect for my talents and interests."

This role appeals to me because I have loved to do any water sports since I was in grade school. I want to work in your company because I believe that I will learn and improve my knowledge with your guidance.

Rachelle's Feedback
Your response doesn't directly answer the question as far as why your passion for the role would benefit them as the employer. To say you like water sports simply won't be enough. Try to dig a bit deeper and touch on your care for the safety of others, for instance.
"I want to work for your facility because I see the care that you put into the safety of your guests. I am passionate about swimming, lifeguarding, and other water activities which makes me want to give people great experiences in the water, too!"
