1
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Hey there. Welcome to Growing Up with Emily, a Lingo

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: kids podcast. It helps kids discover how to be whatever

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,159
Speaker 1: they want to be growing up.

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: Well, showing up side?

5
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 1: Isn't the sea air?

6
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: Lovely?

7
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: Winston? Make sure you put on plenty of sunscreen.

8
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 2: Thanks Emily.

9
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 3: I definitely don't want a sunburn, you know, especially after

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 3: last time.

11
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: WHOA, what's going on over there? That guy in the

12
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: red shorts is running into the water.

13
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: Oh that's a lifeguard. That's when there must be in trouble.

14
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: WHOA look at him? Go hey, he swims really fast.

15
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: Few Thank goodness that lifeguard got to her. He's helping

16
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: her get back onto the beach.

17
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 3: The swimmer's out of breath, but it looks like she's

18
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 3: gonna be okay thanks to that brave lifeguard.

19
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: Well that was a bit of an unexpected excitement for

20
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: the day. How are you feeling about what just happened

21
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: with the swimmer? Winston?

22
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 3: Actually I was pretty worried at first, but then I

23
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 3: got super happy when I realized the lifeguard was there

24
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 3: and would be able to help.

25
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: I know just how you feel, buddy. I'm glad the

26
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: lifeguard was there too.

27
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

28
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 3: Hey, that seagull just stole the other half of my

29
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: sand witch. Oh no, I know it's all right, Emily.

30
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 3: I really shouldn't need any more before swimming today.

31
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: Hey, that's right. Experts say we should normally wait one

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: hour for our food to digest before swimming, Otherwise.

33
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: I could get a horrible tummy ache.

34
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: Or even worse, a cramp. That may swimming so much harder.

35
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: Maybe that's what happened to the swimmer the lifeguard have to.

36
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: Save, possibly Winston. But there's a sign on that part

37
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: of the beach.

38
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: Oh, let me see it says danger.

39
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: Oh but how come lifeguards are allowed to swim where

40
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 3: it's dangerous.

41
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: That's their job, Winston. Lifeguards are super strong swimmers and

42
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 1: they have a lot of training when it comes to emergencies.

43
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 2: I like the word lifeguard. It sounds like the name

44
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: of some kind of superhero. I am the lifeguard, defender

45
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: of the seas.

46
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: Lifeguards keep watch at beaches, pools, and water parks to

47
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: make sure everyone's swimming is safe.

48
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 2: Wow, what a gig.

49
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: Hanging out at the beaches and water parks and saving

50
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 3: lives sounds pretty tubular to me, Dude.

51
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: Being a lifeguard is fun, but don't forget. It's a

52
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: job with a lot of responsibilities.

53
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 3: Hey, the lifeguard's climbing up that giant throne chair.

54
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: Look at him. He is he's king of the beach,

55
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: and he's got binoculars. Cool.

56
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: That's the lifeguard tower. Lifeguards sit on really tall chairs

57
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: so that they can see farther down the beach or

58
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: watch over an entire pool. That's what the binoculars are

59
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: good for.

60
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: I wonder how swimmers got help before lifeguards.

61
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: Well before lifeguards. Some beaches and pools use lifelines. Lifelines

62
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: are floating ropes that people on the beach would throw

63
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: into the water. Swimmers could grab onto them if they

64
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: started to sink.

65
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: I'd be worried that I get tangled up in a

66
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: rope like that.

67
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: Some of them probably did. And on top of that,

68
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people couldn't reach the ropes fast enough.

69
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: So that's why they needed lifeguards. Yep.

70
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: The job of a lifeguard was invented about one hundred

71
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: years ago. Oh, the lifeguard's putting up a bright green

72
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: flag just over there where the waves are smaller.

73
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: Green flag? Does that mean the water's safe? Yep.

74
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: A green flag means it's safe to swim near that

75
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: part of the beach. A yellow flag means you should

76
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: be careful, and a red flag means you got it.

77
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: Red flag means stop no swimming. It's too dangerous to

78
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: get in.

79
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: The water because of sharks or jellyfish.

80
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: Possibly, but red flags can also mean that there's a

81
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: rip current in that part of the water.

82
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: Whoa a rip current? What's that? Does it tear your swimsuit?

83
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: Well, a rip current is like a fast river in

84
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: the ocean that can pull you away from the shore.

85
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: If you get caught in one, stay calm and call

86
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: for help, don't swim again, sit, or you'll just get tired.

87
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: Nice. Well, thanks for the advice.

88
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: No problem, And actually studies show that most of the

89
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: times when swimmers call for help at the beach, it's

90
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: because of strong rip currents.

91
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: Wow, So stay away from parts of the beach with

92
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 3: red flax.

93
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 2: Uh. Do lifeguards use any other flags? Emily yep.

94
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: Lifeguards also use a eckered black and white flag that

95
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: lets people know, oh uh, that.

96
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: They can play chess on that pot of the beach.

97
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: Brook takes queen.

98
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: No, no, no, but good guess though, a checkered flag

99
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: on the beach means surfing only so no swimmers are

100
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: allowed there.

101
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: Oh wow? What else do lifeguards do?

102
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: Emily, All sorts of things. Let's dive right in, shall we?

103
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: No way, you snapped us right into an awesome water park. Whoa, Emily,

104
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: Look at all the slides and the wave pools.

105
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: I hope I'm tall enough to go in.

106
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: I thought we could stop in to check out the

107
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: lifeguards that work here too.

108
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: And to wash the sand from between nurtozies. Okay, no running?

109
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: Oh why is that lifeguard pointing at that kid? He's

110
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: not even in the water.

111
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: It's a lifeguard's duty to keep people safe even around

112
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: the pool. Running on the way can be dangerous, and

113
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: you can easily slip and hurt yourself or someone else.

114
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 2: If someone does get hurt, do lifeguards call an ambulance?

115
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: Well sometimes, but lifeguards are trained to help people first.

116
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: If you swallow too much water, for example, they can

117
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: do CPR.

118
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: Oh wow, So lifeguards are like nurses too.

119
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: A little bit. If you get a small booboo or

120
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: a cut on your foot, they can help fix it.

121
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: But if you're really hurt, it's better to go to

122
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: the hospital.

123
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: And just like at the beach, the lifeguards at this

124
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 3: water park wear red bathing suits too.

125
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: Most lifeguards wear bright colored bathing suits so that they're

126
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: easy to spot if swimmers need them.

127
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 3: That other lifeguards carying around a red I don't know

128
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 3: what that is, but it looks like a big cutting board.

129
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: What is that, Emily, Oh, that's called a rescue can.

130
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 3: Rescue can, but it's not really shaped like a can.

131
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 3: It looks more like a boogie board.

132
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: You're right, and it floats like a boogie board too. Oh.

133
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 2: Do they use it to catch some awesome waves?

134
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: No, The rescue can is a lifeguard's most valuable tool.

135
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: It can carry a lot of weight.

136
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: Someone. Hew, oh, no, that guy out in the deep

137
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: part of the wave poles calling for help. What should

138
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: we do?

139
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: Let's say out of the lifeguard's way. She's the expert,

140
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: and she's got a rescue can. Win her?

141
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: Got it?

142
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 3: Whoa the lifeguards of right into the pool straight from

143
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 3: the heights here too.

144
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,119
Speaker 1: Oh, thank goodness. She got to the swimmer just in time,

145
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: and she's using the rescue can to keep the guy

146
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: above water. It's a bit like a floating.

147
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 3: And she swams so fast. She's like a water wizard.

148
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 3: I wonder how lifeguards learn to swim so well.

149
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: They usually take swimming lessons with other lifeguards.

150
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 3: Swimming lessons on Mondays, saving lives on Tuesdays.

151
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: What a job, yep.

152
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: Lifeguards keep themselves pretty busy, Winston. They also have to

153
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: make sure the pool is clean for swimming and that

154
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: all the equipment functions correctly clean for swimming.

155
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 2: Hmm, what don't they just got a really big sponge?

156
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: Well, what do you think, Vincent? Are you ready to swim?

157
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? I love swimming.

158
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: Let's get into the wavepool all right.

159
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: Hey, this feels great. I always loved going up been

160
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: down in the wavepool. It's so relaxing. Hey, Emily, most

161
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: of the lifeguards here are pretty young.

162
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess you're right. Anyone from age fifteen can

163
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: be a lifeguard. It's a great summer job.

164
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: You better believe it. Oh, didn't you have a story

165
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: about that?

166
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: The one about no Amy the Italian lifeguard. So on

167
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: her first day as a lifeguard, nineteen year old no

168
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: Amy was watching over swimmers at a busy beach. It

169
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: was a rough day on the water and the rip

170
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: currents were very dangerous. Know Ami had to keep reminding

171
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: the swimmers stay inside the safe area.

172
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 3: Oh and rip currents can pull you really far away

173
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 3: from the shore, right, Emily.

174
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: Sure, I mean exactly. But the swimmers wouldn't listen to her.

175
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 2: Oh oh, this smells like trouble. So what happened next?

176
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: Well, next thing, you know, a woman in a wetsuit

177
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: starts waving for help, so the lifeguard has to swim

178
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: out with the rescue can and bring her back in.

179
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: Then an old man starts calling out, Oi, Oi Oi.

180
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: He's trying to swim out of the rip currents, but

181
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: he keeps getting pushed back in.

182
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: Nice. Rip currents are scary.

183
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, And before Noemi can catch her breath, she

184
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: sees a little boy getting sucked out to sea on

185
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: his bookiy board. Thankfully, she manages to save him just

186
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: in the nick of time.

187
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: Wow, she saved three people on her first day.

188
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy?

189
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 2: Those swimmers sure got lucky.

190
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: You are absolutely right. That's why it's very important to

191
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: listen to lifeguards, whether you're at the beach or at

192
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:05,560
