How do I incorporate lifeguarding into my personal statement?

Hi!! I’m studying biochem and human bio, just put the skills you gained and how they make you suited to the course, good luck!!

I also put my lifeguard job on my personal statement. I based it around giving back to my community and expanding on my passions, eg. Swimming. Stuff like that. In terms of skills you’ve learnt you should also put it in but keep it concise.

Ok thank you, did you write a lot about it or only a small section. I feel like I can write a lot about it.

Hiya,

I am wanting to study Biochemistry at university and I am completely lost on what to include!! I have been working as lifeguard for over a year and was wondering if that was worth including. I feel that "developing communication skills" and "teamwork" is good but how do I develop on those points. I also think that they are standard answers as well and would like to stand out amongst others.

Does anyone have any advice/ideas?

It must come with a good deal of responsibility - did you also do first aid or other health and safety training?
