t sound sexist. That certainly is not my intent.
So one of the lifeguards at my pool is pregnant. To be honest...in all the years Iâ€ve been swimming (about four decades) I canâ€t recall that Iâ€ve ever seen a pregnant lifeguard actually ‘guarding.†Iâ€ve been a certified lifeguard myself for a good portion of my life so I know what can be expected to happen on the job. But my reason for concern isnâ€t really her ability to perform a rescue in her present condition. Itâ€s more for the safety of the fetus. In a rescue, the victim can be kicking and flailing extensively. If she were to get kicked in the belly...it could be deadly for the fetus. Iâ€m a little surprised that sheâ€s allowed to guard while pregnant.
