While working I saw this guy holding on to a lifebuoy wearing his goggles and then using the steps to go into the water. I went up to approach him.
Me: Excuse me. What are you doing ? Why do you need that ?
Guy: I can't swim.
Me: Go to the teaching pool over there where you can reach the ground.
Guy: But I bought the adult tickets.
I stunned for a moment wondering, was he trying to tell me that he bought the adult tickets and this means he must swim in the adult pool?
Me: Please Go !
He quickly ran to the teaching pool.
Then moments later, another guy came. The kids was having their swim test in the lane we setup strictly for them only and this guy plunge into the water and swim trying to be the center of attraction whike the kids were having breifing at the side. The kids was getting into their position to have their timing taken at the opposite side. I went beside the kids and blew my whistle signaling the guy swimming to give way. Few kids thought that the whistle indicates the start of their timing and plunge into the water. Everyone was laughing and the kids got back to me for doing that. Hahahaha.. cute.
Point changed. I was assigned to the teaching pool and I saw the same adult guy earlier on. He bought a ring float and was enjoying happily in the pool. Glad that he was having a good time there. Haha
