from 12-12:30 there is no one in the comp. pool except a couple of lap swimmers. so the two guards occassionally have conversations through our megaphones...well, yesterday jen and i were doing just that. we both looked down and saw a man floating there on his back completely limp. we laughed cause it looked really funny, but when he didn't move after about 15 seconds we started to get a little nervous. i got down from the guard chair and jen stood in hers. the man was floating toward the lane line, so i decided if his head hit the lane line and he didn't react that i would take action. well, he didn't even move a muscle and my heart started pounding. jen started yelling "sir! sir!" and i jumped in--well, i wasn't holding the slack of the guard tube so it wrapped around the ladder and i had to swim back and get it...then i swam to the man, and right when i got to him he moved. i said "are you okay sir?" he said, "oh, sorry, ya i was just relaxing." when he got out we noticed he had ear plugs in his ears.
as if that wasn't embarrassing enough...there are windows from the workout room above that look down on the comp pool. when i walked out to my car after work i had a text message from my friend jenelyn that said "Hey good job in the pool today! Way to be on top of things...too bad that guy didn't really need saving:) love ya" (ya, thanks for the "love ya" part jen)- that means people actually saw it.
then today during swimming lessons my friend nalu thought it would be funny to have all of his students jump in the lane below and pretend like they were passive drowning victims...hilarious
as long as i'm embarrassing myself, this is the only time you'll ever see me in a cheer uniform
peace+love
