What kind of excercises should I be doing before I go to lifeguard training? - DietForums.com

I surf a lot, couple times a week so my shoulders are pretty strong but I find my self having shortness of breath pretty quickly and my legs giving out rather soon when I swim. I've read a little on the types of tests lifeguard training puts your through and I was wondering what kind of things I could do to prepare myself for these tests so that I dont fail. This is something I need to do so that I can work at a surf & kayak camp and a local pool.

swim a lot
practice holding you breath for like a min.
use kick board for like a hour
streamline and only kick for like 25 laps
practice paddling if you are going to be a lifeguard for the ocean swim out to the platforms a lot and have some on time you.
