so I'm tired as all get out of the kids in the outdoor pool getting in the lap lanes:frustrated: But that isn't my gripe. Decided that I would go back to the indoor pool today. Our indoor pool has a fairly high-A line type of roof. When I walk into the pool area one of the guards has an electric fan hooked up by an extension cord on the deck (not exactly in water, but water around/close to it) pointing up at him in the guard chair. I question him about the safety of that and his reply was that he was hot. I'm sure it is a lot hotter up in the chair than on the deck, but..... I went to the pool office and looked for the aquatics manager and she was at the other pool. I went up front to find some other management and according to everyone I talked to, no one was in their office. I decided not to swim today. For those of you who are familiar with pool safety, do you think I was over reacting?

I don't have any pity on a lifeguard getting hot.
I was a lifeguard in college. Outdoors. In the winter. Granted, it was a Los Angeles winter, but it still felt frickin' cold! Spent most of my breaks in the shower trying to heat up. I'll take hot any day. At least you can swim on your breaks to cool off...
