She had never experienced a shark sighting before but knew that she should get everyone out of the water. Even though people were already swimming and running toward the sand, she began to pull people out of the water and assisted young children who couldn’t move quickly enough. All the while she kept her eyes on the blue waves but didn’t see any sign of a shark. Based on the passage, what can we conclude about Katrina's experience as a lifeguard?
