“Ma'am there was thunder. We can’t let anyone swim if there’s a storm hazard.”

“I didn’t hear anything, this is absolutely ridiculous. I’m a paying member of this pool and you’re not letting me use it.”

Swim Story (not) Sunday #5

I found out that at my summer job when some of the lifeguards/swim instructors didn’t want to work one of them would go to the dumpster behind the building (no on could see you) and bang it and say it was thunder.
