I don't agree with snobby lifeguards pushing their power. Thanks for the website.<br /><br />@Vicky- Ding! Ding! Ding!<br /><br />@Jules a bug Stinkweeder- Remember when me you and Andi were the ONLY ones there? We got to take our tests simultaneously!<br /><br />@Brett and Tiff- It wasn't funny then but I have been laughing about it ever since. And trust me- you would have passed. I saw some not completely legit swimmers passing.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770496461480639011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417234281196367399.post-71699454925364706272011-07-14T19:05:16.700-07:002011-07-14T19:05:16.700-07:00Holy FUNNY!

Even for adults - sorry, but with that said:<br /><br />NOT with the extremes that this chick lifeguard took it to. You PASSED the first time. You need to speak to someone higher up - and you can also go online and research what the ASPA says [American Spa and Pool Association] about the rules and regulations for passing a swim test. I used to work for them and I am sure they have the definitive ruling on this.<br /><br />I find this ridiculous and the girl was way out of her authority to demand that you re do and then fail you.<br /><br />I will ask Pooldad tonight when he gets home and see what he says.SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4417234281196367399.post-7280309817620596112011-07-14T11:39:24.312-07:002011-07-14T11:39:24.312-07:00Is this story real?!

Wow.<br />Funny how there's a pool on every corner here and not one lifeguard at any of them.<br />If you live closer I would let you come swim at ours, without a test.Poulsen Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272121969567873445noreply@blogger.com
