Meet Our Lifeguards

August Heller

My name is August Heller, I am a sophomore at Westlake High School and on the WHS swim team and the Whitecaps of Westlake swim team. I have been swimming since I was 3 years old and it is my favorite sport. I am Red Cross Lifeguard certified, AED certified, CPR certified, and deep water rescue certified. I can guarantee that with my team and I, your kids will be in good hands and will be safe under our watchful eyes.

Dylan Carnahan

Hello! I’m Dylan Carnahan I’m a Red Cross certified lifeguard with AED certification, CPR certification, and deep water rescue certification. I have been swimming since I was 2 years old and on a team since I was 4 years old. I’m currently a sophomore at Westlake High School and on their swim team and the Whitecaps of Westlake swim team.
I love all water sports including fishing. I’m very patient and good with kids, and enjoy working with all types of people. When I’m not in the water, I’m an active member of the Young Men’s Service League, volunteering for many non-profits in Austin, especially those that focus on food security.

Harry Forst

Hi, I’m Harry. I’m a sophomore at Westlake High School and a Red Cross certified lifeguard. I’ve always loved being in the water, and I’ve been swimming since I could walk.
Currently, I’m on the WHS swim team and the Whitecaps of Westlake swim team.
This past summer, I was an assistant coach for the Barton Creek West Barracudas summer league swim team. I have experience with all ages and am an older brother to two sisters.
When I’m not at the pool, I play trombone in the Chap band, practice driving my mom’s stick shift, and hang out with my friends. I love all kinds of Oreos, especially the mint ones.
