Grover Cleveland High School in Queens has become a lifeguarding powerhouse — and most of its students enter as non-swimmers. “When I first came here, I was scared of the water — that’s the truth,” said Jimmy Barrera, 17. Now he can swim the 50-yard sprint nearly 10 seconds faster than the 35 seconds the city requires for a certified lifeguard. Equipped with its own working swimming pool, a rare commodity today in New York City public high schools, Grover Cleveland offers lifeguarding classes that lead to Red Cross certification. It may not get the public recognition the city’s more prestigious schools enjoy, but it has the distinction of being one of the largest feeders of young lifeguards in the city. Dozens of its students go on to work at city beaches and pools. The majority of the school's lifeguard trainees are immigrants or children of immigrants. “For most of these kids, the opportunities to swim are very limited,” said Chris Sullivan, who teaches and coaches swimming there. “Most are from lower-income and working-class backgrounds, with struggling parents who can’t afford private swim classes for their kids.” “I’ve had kids tell me they made more than their parents for the summer,” said Felicia Mair, another coach. Jimmy said he earned $6,000 last summer working at a public pool in Brooklyn. @victorblue took this photo of Muhammad Rameez practicing rescuing Jimmy. Visit the link in our profile to read more.
