I generally try not to get too stressed at the pool, as it's my time to just get away and have some fun. However, I was really teed off yesterday, when the lifeguards just sat there and watched as a mother and her two young children who could barely swim, proceeded to dog paddle down the center of the fast lane! To make matter worse, right behind them was an old guy walking up and down the lanes (they are not very deep). Eventually, after the kids almost crashed into a few swimmers, one of the lifeguards finally woke up from her nap and asked the family to move to the slow lane. She left the old man alone though, and he continued to walk up and down the lanes holding up traffic...
