heads i win, tails you lose.

lifeguard training, class 2. we learned how to get up and down off the lifeguard stand. sounds easy, right? yeah, well IT'S NOT. (it snot! haha!)

here is how it goes. lifeguard one - L1 - is on the stand. L2 is going to relieve L1, so L2 comes up to the stand and says something like - i am here to relieve you. then L1 passes the tube to L2 and L2 takes the surveillance. L1 climbs down off the stand, and L2 passes the tube to L1 who takes the surveillance. L2 climbs up the stand. L1 hands the tube to L2. L2 takes the surveillance and L1 tells L2 any important info, such as if there are kids that have been messing about or if a swimmer has been struggling or something.

pretty elaborate, huh? well, it only takes 20 seconds for a swimmer to go under, so you've got to be efficient.

you're a LIFEguard, not, like, a cheeseburger guard. jeez.
