I wish the lifeguards at our pool also realized it means sometimes saving someone from drowning. 16yo and no Fs given.

The best part was knowing which soccer mom shaves and who doesn't.

It's only a problem when someone starts drowning and you don't know how to swim... Goodbye Jimmy, I'm sorry

This is how Vultures and birds of prey seek out their next meal if they're large enough. Human meat is amazing...I'm not a vulture, I swear.

Counter argument: if you don't wear a lifeguard shirt you can sit back and watch people drown.

False, am a male lifeguard, had a woman yell at me to stop staring at her even though she was the only one in the pool. Also teenage girls
all think you're a fucking creep. And parents of small children all think you're a pedophile.

Or feel judged at least. Especially if you have a moustache and lifeguard at a summer camp

you need to stop licking your lips when you do it

As a fellow guard this is accurate.

As an Uncle raising his niece and nephew, can confirm.

As a transgender octopus whose been injured in an InkOff, rehabilitated at Monterey Bay Aquarium, I can not confirm. Because I am octopus.

As a octopus rehabilitation trainer I can confirm this.

As an octofucker, I'll produce more speculation on topics that are still under scrutiny. Perhaps. Unsure really.

How mandatory is diving for a lifeguard?
Lifeguards rarely even make saves unless you work at a water park, regular pools dont have serious incidents, a few active drowners a season
melveys
I see a lifeguard jump in about half the time I attend. The last time was for two kids from the same family about 15 mins apart.
Than those lifeguards arnt teaching the kids they save how to swim safely and where they should be swimming
AnHonestLiar
You mean like, somersaults and shit, or the ability to enter a pool at speed and immediately break into a stroke?

Tbh in your professional life you're very rarely going to enter the pool ("a wet lifeguard is a bad lifeguard") and when you do
You'll more than likely be straddle jumping, not diving straight. The main reason you'd ever enter the pool would be for a suspected spinal
In which case you DO NOT dive in. You enter very very slowly and carefully so as not to create any waves.
AlabamaNerd
I agree with the rarely entering part, but I don't see how having to save someone makes a bad lifeguard? You can't control someone?
Only time I got in was a 3 year old who was going back and forth then got tired where he couldn't stand. Hopped in and got him out (in 3 ft)
Yea, wet lifeguard is nbd. A lifeguard doing cpr usually means someone didnt see an active drowner turn to a passive drowner. Which is bad
It's just something they say to you during lifeguard training, the idea being that you should be proactive rather than reactive
