What is the time limit for the timed event in the Lifeguarding course?

The correct time limit for the timed event in the Lifeguarding course is 1 minute and 40 seconds. This specific duration is set to ensure that lifeguards develop the necessary skills and endurance required for effective rescue operations. It tests not only swimming speed but also the ability to perform critical rescue techniques within a defined time frame, reflecting realistic scenarios that lifeguards may encounter on the job.

As part of the training, students are prepared to respond swiftly and efficiently, and this time limit encourages them to enhance their physical conditioning and technical proficiency. The structured nature of the timed event serves as a benchmark for assessing each participant's readiness to fulfill their lifeguarding responsibilities in potentially high-pressure situations.
