Hi, I've been invited to take the sports and theoretical aptitude test next month. I've applied for the position of specialist in swimming pool operations. The trainees told me I should mainly learn general knowledge, like who the first chancellor was, and so on, and of course also the specific topics or subjects like chemistry,…
In some swimming pools or other facilities where physical privacy is also important, there are surveillance cameras, for example in the changing room area.

Hey, I'm 13 now, but I'll be 14 soon, and I wanted to research online whether it's possible to work as a lifeguard or something similar at that age. The only information I found online was that you can get a bronze lifeguard certificate at 12. All the jobs I found required a minimum age…
