I am a lifeguard instructor, and I was wondering if any other DDF members are also lifeguards. If so how much did you pay for certification (I have heard prices range from $50 to $450)? How much do you pay to re-certify your CPR? You can also include best job you have ever had lifeguarding, what job you are doing this summer, or anything at all to do with lifeguarding.

I usually charge about 250 for everything. But its not usually worth doing a course for 1 guy... I am in Cleveland for the summer, and visiting New York periodically.

It depends how much I have to reteach, but probably between 100 and 150.

The only time I was drowning, I was saved by a non-lifeguard. If there had been only lifeguards there, I would be dead.

And then who would troll AsherO?
