If you are not certified, you should get certified before applying. Then, during the interview you can describe your credentials and elaborate on the personal qualities you possess which make you a good candidate for the job. Anyone can get CPR certified, so demonstrate what it is that makes you uniquely fit for the position. Maybe it’s your compassion, your physical fitness, or your specialized knowledge of performing CPR on infants and young children htat sets you apart.

This is a good way to hint that you're in demand, without sounding like you're whoring yourself all over town. So, be honest and mention a few other companies but don't go into detail. The fact that you're seriously looking and keeping your options open is what the interviewer is driving at.

Run for cover! This is one tricky game to play in an interview. Even if you know the salary range for the job, if you answer first you're already showing all your cards. You want as much as possible, the employer wants you for as little as you're willing to take. Before you apply, take a look at salary.com for a good idea of what someone with your specific experience should be paid. You may want to say, "well, that's something I've thought long and hard about and I think someone with my experience should get between X & Y." Or, you could be sly and say, "right now, I'm more interested in talking more about what the position can offer my career." That could at least buy you a little time to scope out the situation. But if you do have a specific figure in mind and you are confident that you can get it, I'd say go for it. I have on many occasions, and every time I got very close to that figure (both below and sometimes above).

As a lifegueard, you will be responsible to your employer to see that all patrons follow the pool policies and safety rules. Your leadership skills and ability to take control of potentially dangerous situations are key. Find a story from your previous work or school experiences that can highlight both your ability to see the other person’s point of view and to adhere to company policies. The hiring manager wants to gauge whether you will have the confidence to enforce the pool’s safety rules or if you will be negligent of the pool policies. Choose an example which shows how you understand the reasons behind the rules. That will allow your potential future employer to see that you could enforce the rules for the right reasons. This question is also your opportunity to describe your commitment to customer service. You could, perhaps, describe the tone with which you would choose to address a patron who repeatedly ignored pool rules or engaged in unsafe behavior in the pool. Your approach should balance a firm commitment to safety as well as an empathetic understanding toward a patron or parent of a patron who may be upset due to such a confrontation. Acknowledge that you are willing to refer to management or company policy to tactfully and thoughtfully resolve the issue.

It's not a good idea to mention money here, it can make you sound mercenary. And if you are in the unfortunate situation of having been downsized, stay positive and be as brief as possible about it. If you were fired, you'll need a good explanation. But once again, stay positive.

Ok, this is not the time for full disclosure. If some people from your past are going to say you're a boring A-hole, you don't need to bring that up.
