What is it like working as a Lifeguard?

Horrible job! Low pay, high stress, and unsafe.
Lifeguard in Evansville:
Pros: Every once in a while after hours of 80% humidity I'd get to pace in freezing rain and many guests would leave.
Cons: Disregard for employee health. Often we have to pace in 100 degree weather for hours without any water, until our thighs bleed then we can get some Band-Aids and a gulp of water before resuming work.
