Puke in the Pool

Today was extremely hot. So all the kids and adults from the area showed up. With crowds come all the people who ignore the rules. We have a rule that children under six must be with an adult in the pool. This is in huge print next to the entrance of the pool. But never the less we had to explain this multiple times to some very grumpy people. It was so hot, I was sweating while I sat there. We didn't have enough guards to cover the pool and get breaks. So we did our best. But yelling walk and keeping kids with their parents was hard. About a half an hour before the end, some kid start projectile vomiting on his mother and in the pool. He was "too excited". So we had to clear the pool. We blew our whistles and instructed people to leave the pool. Most of them ignored us, and when we finally got them all out we could hear someone complaining that rec swim ends at 5:30. My lovely coworker turns to her and goes. "That is when there isn't puke in the pool" She shut up with a simple "oh."

Ever think of being a lifeguard. Hope you don't mind pulling puke chunks out of the pool with a net!
