[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids a lifeguard. She does not need to be vaccinated. That’s hilarious. You all realize these kids hung out together all summer last year OUTSIDE the pool gates? I think they are good to lifeguard the same this year. It was ridiculous that any of us had to wear masks outside while at the pool. [/quote]

That is a pretty bad brag about your child and your parenting skills.  And, this is why covid is as bad as it is and why swimming is limited.  Thanks![/quote]

I’m the only parent allowing my kid to play with neighbor kids last summer? Even without masks? [/quote]

We didn’t use the pool last summer recreationally because your lifeguard kid (and other lifeguard kids) failed to enforce the rules. Those are the same rules we, as a family, instituted outside the pool gates. [/quote]
Our pool made it clear to the families that the teenage lifeguards were not responsible for enforcing social distancing. They made it clear that as adults we were responsible for ours and our children’s behavior, and honestly with all the ridiculous incidents of people physically assaulting those trying to enforce mask/distancing requirements, I thought this made sense. The guards jobs were to keep an eye on the people in the water, not to make sure people out of the pool were masked, distanced, etc. People abided by the mask requirements on the pool deck and the kids abided by the mask requirement out of the water.  There were no Covid issues at our pool over the summer.   [/quote]

Teens don’t have parents there. There were way too many kids (of all ages) near the diving board. There were way too many kids socializing together during breaks and on deck.  That’s insane to me that the lifeguards can watch an empty pool, sell an ice cream cone, check someone in, but can’t tell kids to back up or only 4 at a time in line for the diving board. I’m not expecting them to go around and police masking all the time but if they police occasional running, they can police occasional overcrowding or mask violations. [/quote]
I think the point was that selling ice cream, watching the pool, checking people in, etc. was not going to put teenage guards in line to take the wrath of some irrational adult if they had to police social distancing and mask wearing. I know that the guard companies were also concerned about pools turning their guards into the mask/social distancing police. I will admit the kids at our pool didn’t really socially distance from each other but when they were out of the pool they were masked even if they were hanging out/playing in a group. It sounds like you made the right choice for you to steer clear of the pool though.[/quote]
