Frontline asked Cole Carey about his job over the summer. Frontline: What was your summer job?Cole Carey: I was a lifeguard and swim instructor at Hart Park Pool. FL: What made you decide to get a summer job? CC: I wanted to start saving up for college and I thought it would be a good experience. FL: Did you enjoy your time working? CC: Yeah, it was fun. FL: Did you have enough time for yourself while working a job? CC: Yeah, it was hard to manage time, but I did find time. FL: What was the hardest part of being a lifeguard? CC: The hardest part was whenever someone troublesome would come into the pool, or someone started drowning and we’d have to do something about it. FL: In retrospect, are you glad that you did it? CC: Yeah, it was a good experience. FL: Did you ever save anybody? Any close calls? CC: I didn’t. But we did have saves, and I got to watch one. FL: Was the lifeguard training hard? CC: The training wasn’t too bad. It was interesting to learn how to hold people correctly in the water. FL: Was it a boring job? CC: Sometimes it was. It was always interesting during swim lessons. |  Cole Carey, a fully fledged life guard, poses after a quaint interview. |
