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.

to be completly honest i feel worse for the 44 year old that is taking a class to be a lifeguard... that shit is for teenagers and college students.

true that, #83. but man, screw that anyway. lifeguards where I live are far from fit. all they have to do is know how to float. stick with football.

LOL # 2 - you mean Lactic acid? You really only get that during a work out and when you don't stretch your muscles properly and if you dont stretch properly AFTER working out (super important! your muscle fibers rip after working out and you need to stretch and massage them so they reheal in the proper way...this is how muscles get larger...) OP - Different exercises affect you differently. I can run 3 miles without a walk break but i fyou throw me ona stairmaster its like gym suicide. Or I can do spin at high intensity for an hour just fine and still want to go for ar una fter but throw me in a pool and im gasping for air after so many laps. Its not that you are unfit, your body just isn't used to THAT type of workout

Ive taken those guard tests too, but I was already a swimmer for my whole life, and I did great at them, But when it comes to on-land sports, like running, I cant last a mintue. Swimming and on-land sports = two totally different things...., dont stress.
