Does it matter if the pool lifeguard sells pot?

| We just moved to a Bethesda neighborhood that has a swim and tennis club for residents. I recognized the 17 year old lifeguard as a boy my DD used to buy pot off of and he was a regular user. My DD went through a very long and difficult rehab but I believe she is clean. She admitted based on her texts with others that he is still dealing and using. Do I mention this to the Association or just let it go? Not trying to cause trouble. |

Why? I'd report it, OP. If not your kid, he's probably selling it to someone else's. |

| What? Ignore the PP! As a parent of young kids who belong to a swim & tennis club like you describe, that's appealling !! Lifeguard / Dealer - wtf? SAY SOMETHING ... |

| Hell no don't "let go". Think of your daughter first. She had a difficult recovery and her dealer is right by her? Put temptation out of temptation's way. A drug dealing life guard?! Is he high when he's on duty? Yup. Too much is stake here. Please please please tell the association. |

I would be concerned too if he is coming to work high. The manager may have noticed something, but not able to put his/her finger on it. This is safety issue. Please say something so they can monitor this young person.

Yes.
No one wants a high lifeguard or swim teacher. |

| OMG- please say what pool! At the very least, in case he claims he's "clean"' now, other DCUM&dads can be on the look out. The more people are aware of a possible issue, the more vigilant we can all be - plus more evidence if needed. It takes a village. A lifeguard is such a trusted position |

I think it's unfair to accuse him of using to his employer. Because if it's not true and he's clean, he still may get fired and we as a society want people to be working productive jobs. Not dealing.
But I would discuss it with the association stating there is a lifeguard who was a known dealer/user and while you do t have evidence that he's usI got now, you'd like to get information on their hiring practices. That should put them on alert about it. |

| I hope you did not send your kid to rehab for pot. If so, that will be the worst decision of your life. My parents did it. Turned a normal kid into a hardcore dig addict as he got to know many there. |

| 23:56 here: to address the actual question, if you have any thoughts that he is actually high while lifeguarding, then absolutely tell someone immediately. But if not, chill out. |
