Some of each lifeguard class chooses to earn a waterfront guard certification along with their pool lifeguard cert,

so we have a field trip to the beach for the skills they can't practice in/at the De Anza pool.

I'm going to fit my whole body in that hole: five waterfront lifeguard candidates laughing over fitting into a wetsuit, one saying "I'm going to fit my whole body in that hole" (at the neck in the top of the wetsuit)

Front and back carry:
