okay pet peeve=

as a lifeguard, It really freaks me out when people dont know how to swim properly or, even worse, dive off the board the right way.

like, today there was some kid who whenever he swam it looked exactly like he was an active drowner going passive. he'd doggy paddle a bit, dip his head back as his body sunk downward, then float on his belly a little bit, and repeat this sequence untill he got to the wall. thats horrifying if you happen to glance over and see that, not knowing this is how he swims.

as for the board, when littleuns do a little "pencil" off the board, and barely jump out at all. scary.
