So I joined a facility a few months back and everything is fantastic!…..except the lifeguards at the pool.
Basically I am preettty sure that if I or any other fellow man or woman actually had something go down they couldn’t do jack shiggity aka we would all drown not one of them is actually fit let alone over 100 pounds . They are a bunch of little kids that sit in their staff room (which may or may not be all of glass can not confirm or deny for the sake of legality) see them all the tiiime make fun of people who are obese in the pool, constantly are on the phone texting even while on duty, and dance around.
Serious lifeguards not Degrassi please (although it would be awesome to be rescued by Joey Jeremiah) —Yu Yevon

I used to lifeguard at an outdoor pool. I can confirm %50 of pool lifeguards are vapid airheads who’s eyes are more fixated on their idiot phones (smart phones is an oxymoron). They’re not all bad though.
I believe that it’s skill and ability, not weight, that gives them the credibility to do their job… if you don’t want to drown, lose weight?
when the boy took lessons and when we went to the beach i was the lifeguard edit: he swims very well
Give anyone a whistle and they turn into jerks.
Of course we ridicule fat people ….. for those who plumped themselves up and got man-boobs and a gut that would smother a penis – you did it to yourself and it was not an overnight thing …. it is an overweight thing!
? the larger you are, the more buoyant you’re going to be. They may have trouble getting you out of a pool but at least swimming you to the side would be a piece of cake.
