"being a lifeguard is fun" they said, chlorine dripping from their nostrils

#I hate lifeguard orientation #and recertification #we just had to practice a submerged rescue #aka grabbing someone from the bottom of a 12 feet pool #while tethered to the surface with your rescue tube on a eight foot string #or standing at the bottom of the pool hoping the person who is supposed to “rescue” you comes before you actually need it #it's miserable
