After a few weeks of teaching swimming lessons I feel worn out. Some kids are adorable and behave while others are...well, use your imagination. I've seen bloody noses, bee stings and poop in the pool. I've been kicked in the head and have scratch marks from kid's fingernails. I'm probably losing my hearing from all the screaming and crying from my kids not wanting to swim. The only adequate way to sum up my experiences is to say: It's just another day at the pool.
While lifeguarding I've already had to make a few saves. Even though the kids are ok now, I'm a bit disappointed because they all could have been avoided if the kid's parents/guardians were watching their kids and staying close by. I wish parents would take more responsibility for their children at the pool. It just makes me want to be a good parent when I have kids, and to make sure they are safe.
