You couldn’t tell from the smile on her face, but a spinal “injury” rendered Juliana Friguletto immobile in the town pool Sunday afternoon.
Thankfully, the recent graduate of Mohanasen High School was only playing the role while helping to fill a national shortage of certified lifeguards, to boot.
The 18-year-old Rotterdam resident was one of about 16 teenagers to receive an American Red Cross lifeguarding certification.
During the spinal exercise, the final stanza of the week-long training that consisted of hands-on and virtual learning, Julie Rouse and William Alcorn tended to Friguletto before medics could arrive.
