Beach Lifeguard 2014

I'm doing the beach lifeguard pre-employment swim tests this Friday for Fingal county council and for the first time. As part of the requirement we have to swim 200m in under 4 minutes. I could do this easily with my head underwater, but I am struggling immensely in trying to do this whilst keeping my head facing forward…

I could do this easily with my head underwater, but I am struggling immensely in trying to do this whilst keeping my head facing forward out of the water. I was just wondering if anyone who has done this test before could enlighten me to how strict they are about keeping your head facing forward?

The 200m is just normal freestyle, you only keep your head out of the water when approaching to do the double from front and rear and they are only 25m approaches.

Pay and hours depend on the council and beach you work on.
