Why fr

It's probably a legal requirement to have a lifeguard at a public pool even if those swimming in it are the least likely to need assistance.

True

Good point. But no one drowns in the Olympics

Unless if they hit their head off the wall and get a cerebral injury (ie, concussion, KO, etc.)

Then the plastic noodle will come in reeeeeeal handy for someone who is unconscious

There's the potential to get cramp. No one at the Olympics swimming has had a need to be rescued by a lifeguard, but there have been close calls and at other high level events.

Real

It's no joke; one boy I went to school with had to be rescued from the pool during the swimming carnival.

;_________;

damn

True

they probably get paid well though

They’re actually not useless, what if somebody got a cramp mid swim? Who would save them? The lifeguard that’s who

😭

lmao

bro probably gets paid hundreds of dollars

Getting paid for front row seating is a W though.

If you ever feel unattractive remember Paul McCartney's dad cried when he was born because he thought he was so ugly

"He looked awful. I couldn't get over it. Horrible. He had one eye open, and he just squawked all the time. They held him up and he looked like a piece of red meat. When I got home I cried, the first time for years and years. But the next day, he looked more human. He turned out a lovely baby in the end."
-Jim McCartney

They actually i bet are lovin it cause that lady is as rich as fu-

He looks bored.
