When people are like "nobody would want to sweep the floors!!!1!1!1!1" all I can think of is this dude on YouTube that just goes around clearing drains and culverts cause he likes it.

There's a particular flavor of person for everything and even if it's not something you love to do, it's something people would be willing to do if it's not something you have to do 40 hours a week or your family starves.

Still I can't see how someone would volunteer working as a swimming pool life guard, though

Just heard someone who exactly wants to do that.

Are you kidding? That's literally one of the most famous volunteer task. There's more than half a million volunteer water rescue personnel in Germany alone. Granted, they're not only life guarding, but that's a big part of what they do. Not at pools (those are usually run for profit, so they can and should pay personnel for that) but at lakes and the sea.
