Ive been looking into becoming a lifeguard recently but dont know where to begin, Can you give me any pointers? 
Well you have to be a really strong swimmer. You also have to be trained in CPR/AED and water rescue.
I think I have enough strength to do it, Do you know how much a lifeguard gets paid?
I'm not sure. I'm sure it varies. But since lifeguards are responsible for people's lives around water, I would hope it wouldn't be too little.
Yeah I want to be paid well, Im basically risking my life too when I go into the water.
Sometimes lifeguards are part of the emergency services system and can even carry out mountain rescues.
Oh really? So its not all just working in the water? What kind of mountain rescues would a lifeguard do anyways?, I'm confused. 
I'm assuming it would be mountains that are close to water or have water running through them.
Ah yes thats true, Never thought about it that way, Do you have any other lifeguard pointers I should know? 
Not really. Other than it's a very important job because they supervise the rescue and safety of swimmers.
