Pool Party??
In Atlanta, Georgia every subdivision has a community pool. We are landlocked and privileged at the same time. A "pool perk" for the burbs. Of course you pay for it!!!! but...its euphoric! What price can you place on that??
My kids grew up in the water, we were there when the pool opened and closed. Many good memories.
Now it is usually just me, and I mean that literally!!! I go, "at my own risk" before people get there. No lifeguard on duty. Which is not a risk at all, the lifeguard could not save me, even on land!! When she arrived the other day, wearing a skimpy bikini, I thought...How can you save me, when you may be worried about your top coming off? and..How could anyone else save me, when they are looking at your Ta-tas!!!! Plus she weighed all of eighty pounds. She almost blew over opening the beach umbrella, for some pool patrons. I want an Olympic swimmer for a lifeguard, at least someone who can swim, AND how about wearing a tank suit, a one piece, whatever the name is of what Olympic swimmers wear. I want you to put on your sunscreen before you get to the pool, not while you are suppose to watching the water, for sharks!!! It could happen!!!! Also, would it be too much to ask for you not to wear your i-pod while combing the water with your , not so attentive eyes? What if I go under during a good song??Lifeguards should be able to swim the oceans, and above the age of fifteen.
Oh well, it was time for me to go home anyway, the fifteen year old boys were headed to the pool.
Now I know no one is safe!!! But we are all happy!!
