Today, I started Lifeguard Training and we had the fitness test you had to pass to continue. I work out everyday and I start on our football team. It's spring break and i've worked everyday (construction). I'm fit. Time comes to take the test, I finished last, beat by a 44 year old woman. FML

Thanks everyone, haters and all. Let me clear some things up for yall. 1) i did pass, but when i was out of the pool i was GASSED 2) the woman was in pretty damn good shape. I didnt mean to be sexist or ageist. 3) my football team was 11-2. The Ennis Lions, if you wanna check im #64. We were 1 game short of state (loss to rockwall heath) 4) Im not the typical "athlete". I had a pink mohawk in the summer, I listen to no rap and all alternative, I HAVE PINK AND BLACK VANS FOR GODS SAKE. 5) This will surprise you. I'm 6'2 and 230lbs (6% body fat). An offensive lineman, thats why i had some problems. I didn't mean to come off as a jerk, or a "dumb jock",and I actually did somewhat prepare for this test. I had a friend who is a lifeguard teach me and have me swim but I guess it wasn't enough. And, yes, I RESPECT ALL YOU SWIMMERS NOW! haha I learned the hard way

There are 10 types of fitness that get measured. I don't expect that you are actually unfit in any way, but the other people probably just focused on the areas you didn't - which are probably the areas they measured. It's not like you lost to an elderly obese man, you lost to somebody who likely swims as a sport everyday.

I don't know what kind of fitness test this is, but if it's for Lifeguard Training, I'd guess swimming is involved. In which case, I don't care if you're the fittest guy in the world, if you can't swim, you're no good.

If you are down near 0% body fat, the lack of buoyancy is going to kill you in the water. I saw it when I was going through lifeguard training. You need a little fat to float. That 44 year old woman probably had the perfect amount of fat so that she only had to use her muscles for forward motion and not to stay afloat. Kind of like the difference between an airplane and a helicopter.

gotta considere that doing construction work is not training, its not cardio , its just back breaking work, construction workers are tough dudes but aren't atheletes

Swimming uses different muscles then one would use for football and construction. It's not that ir unfit, it's that you arnt toned for swimming

Yeah im in swimming and when i first started out i could barely do a 100. Theres a difference between land excersise and water excersise. Theres air resistance, water resistance,etc. But now i could do a 500 with practice in swimming.
