Jessica Hall checks Jeremiah Herron for a pulse during an inservice training session for certified lifeguards at the Ed Thomas YMCA Tuesday afternoon. Anna Sis, instructor and Amy Wheelbarger look on and offer words of encouragement. Certified lifeguard training is offered during Christmas break and in the spring months, providing lifeguards for area towns, the YMCA swimming program and the McCook City pool. Sixty-eight people received certification during the past year. This is Jessica's first year as certified lifeguard and Jeremiah's fourth. "It's good that we have this training," Mike Gonzales, YMCA director, commented. "We just hope they don't ever have to use it."
