“I think it’s important to remind ourselves that we can do hard things. The outcome of overcoming challenges and helping others far exceeds staying in our comfort zones.” Within the past two years, Taylen Jorgenson became a Red Cross certified lifeguard AND Water Safety Instructor®. The certifications gave her an opportunity to use her voice and challenge herself to serve a greater goal — helping people learn how to swim and stay safe in and around the water. “Being a lifeguard and an instructor has really allowed me to use my voice. I was quiet and very shy, but I learned to use my voice and take a stand to make sure everyone remains safe at the pool,” she says. If you’re looking for an opportunity to help others this summer, consider getting trained as a certified lifeguard and/or Water Safety Instructor®.
