I had to jump in the water to "save" a kid today at my lifeguarding job. What happened was that there was this kid and he was an alright swimmer and so I let him go off the diving board. The problem was that after the 10th time he was so exhausted that he couldn't make it to the side and looked up at me with panic in his eyes and said "help me!" I jumped in the water and helped him to the side and was soaking wet the rest of the day. It was kind of embarrassing because I panicked and forgot to blow the whistle to let the other guard know what was going on and I am sure I had enough time to get off the chair and throw him the tube but I panicked...oh well lesson learned.
