OH man, a few lifeguard stories here.

1) When I started working as a guard, I bought the required guard suit. Well it started smelling a little funky, so I wore my racing suit from swim team, which is about 2 sizes smaller than is "comfortable" to make hydrodynamics. So I'm chillin' up in my guards chair by the waterslide, and a kid goes under! So I leap off of my chair, grab the kid, and put him up on the side of the deck. Then the kid starts LAUGHING like crazy! I couldn't figure out what was so funny...the strap on my swimsuit (damn the spaghetti strap racing suit!) had broken, and not 1 but BOTH of my boobs were hanging out. I had to take my break in the middle of the day and go home and get a new suit.

2) During a rainstorm, we decided to have a bit of training/lifeguard fun. We practiced jumping off chairs into shallow water, rescues in clothing, spinal boarding, etc. Well..I could never quite get my jump off of this one chair. SO I sat up there, and my coworker faked a drowning. I jumped up and went to leap into the water...only to have my shorts get stuck on the chair! I did a bellysmacker into 4ft of water from my 7ft tall chair, and ripped my shorts from the leg to the butt. So embarassing.
