Tales of the Improperly-trained Lifeguard!

Instinct and intuition — that’s what makes me a good lifeguard. Why, just the other day I saw someone swim right after eating! Luckily, my years of hearing random folk wisdom told me to spring into action!

    It was you had to wait an hour after eating before swimming when I was a kid, I wonder who came out with this first.

      My parents told me after I was older and had pointed out that the pool water was only three feet deep, that they adhered to the rule so that I would help with the dishes before going in.
