in the sun and looking around. A
life guard must have years of train-
ing and be responsible for the safe-
ty of other people.
The head lifeguard of the BMG
municipal pool, Kim Fritz tells of a
day filled with work and responsi-
bility.
A lifeguard's day can start at 7:45
a.m. when the pool must be readied
for a day of activity, she says.
Upon arrival at the pool, a thor-
ough check must be done of the
area. The solar blankets are
removed from the pool, the chemi-
cal levels are measured and adjust-
ed if needed and the pump is
inspected to ensure proper working
order.
The water is tested three to four
times per day so that the proper
balance of chemicals is maintained,
says Kim.
The use of chemicals is learned
during the National Lifeguard
course that each staff member must
pass.
Beginning at 8 am. and running
through to 1 pm., the staff of five
lifeguards give lessons. All colour
levels to bronze, are available at the
Brussels pool.
One must be 14 to achieve the

bronze level which is the first step
on the way to becoming a life-
guard, Kim says.
Throughout the afternoon the
pool offers a public swim with spe-
cial times indicated for; moms,
pops and tots, swimming laps,
swim team and other extra pro-
grams.
During this peak time of use,
Kim says it is necessary to have
four lifeguards on duty because of
the large number of people in the
pool.
During the extremely hot weather
that has been present this summer,
the guards rotate in 15 minute
shifts. This helps to maintain alert-
ness, says Kim. They must be con-
stantly watching the people in the
water and around the pool area.
When not on watch the guards
work the desk or patrol other areas
so they are always available if
needed.
The heat of this summer also
causes concern for the guards as
there is no escape from the harmful
rays of the sun, says Kim.
The evening program of aquabics
is very popular this year. "It may be
because of the heat but there are a
lot of people of all ages enjoying
the program," she says. The partici-
pants range in age from 20 to
seniors, who are allowed to work at
their own pace.
Throughout the day the lifeguard
staff is responsible for the upkeep
of the facility as well as the safety
of the swimmers.
The bathrooms and change
rooms must be swept after each les-
son, public swim and at night. The
;bathrooms are also given a thor-
ough cleaning each evening.
The pool is vacuumed and the
liner scrubbed weekly.
The health inspector checks the
pool at the beginning of the season,
but makes surprise visits during the
summer as well, says Kim.
Besides keeping the pool up to
standards, each lifeguard is
required to maintain a level of skill
as well. Kim says each staff mem-
ber is responsible for upgrading
lifeguard qualifications every two
years (cost $50); CPR every year
(cost $30) and first aid every three
years (cost $30). These prices do
not include the original cost of the
courses necessary to attain the level
of lifeguard and instructor. These
are often in the range of $100, says
Kim.
She says the Brussels pool is
smaller than others in the area so
the staff is able to become well
acquainted with the children that
use the pool. They know the abili-
ties of the child and what the limits
are.
The lifeguards must also be good
at public relations. It is necessary to
keep the parents up to date on a
child's progress and to explain pro-
grams that will be available to
them.
The BMG recreation department
employs five lifeguard/instructors.
They are Head Lifeguard Kim
Fritz, Assistant Corrinna Stephen-
son, Nicki Gropp, Shari Jacklin and
Jay Hahn.
