Heya guys, I'm on exchange for a few more months in the Netherlands and am toying with the idea of trying to get work at a nearby swimming pool. I have both Royal and Surf lifesaving qualifications for rescue and oxy resus, and first aid, from Australia.
My questions: What is it like pool lifeguarding in the Netherlands? What pay can I expect? Would it be possible to work with only a basic Dutch speaking ability?
I am a waterfront lifeguard (working with the Nova Scotia Lifeguard Service) and I was wondering if anyone here has been on some sort of exchange or just went to another country to lifeguard. I am really interested in going abroad to work but our service only selects one person that applies for the exchange with Australia once every year. I'm looking for waterfront or even cruise lifeguard jobs anywhere south because I'd like to go during the fall/winter seasons. I'd like to see if anyone has been somewhere or has any tips or opinions on the topic.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
“BOOM”?!
