Today I had got some improvement plan in my mind and imagined a nice two hour swim this afternoon. I got to the pool after some one and half hour train ride, changed into my swimsuit, started my laps. No sooner than I had swum for maybe 2 laps, the pool staff told me the pool had to be closed and I must get out immediately. I asked why, since it's supposed to close at 8pm, and it's not even 5pm yet. The answer: the lifeguard on duty had not shown up. Of course, without a lifeguard you can't swim.
So that's my afternoon, 3 hours round train trip to swim for 2 laps :bitching:
I've met two other abrupt closing at the same pool (I must have had a very bad luck), but those two were excusable: once there was no water in the building (except for the uncirculated water in the pool), no toilet or shower available. The other time, there was a fire alarm. (How ironic, these two reasons.)
But lifeguard not showing up? and we must get out immediately? (I swam two laps, and I saw a couple of swimmers just got wet and hadn't started the first lap yet.)
Anyone had similar bad experience? I'm still pondering what was the reason the guard didn't show up. The pool remains closed for the rest of the day.
Jeeeze that sounds like the most miserable thing ever. I'd angle for some money off my membership fee after that little fiasco...they owe you!
I don't get angry that often, but that would have put me over the edge
Hope it never happens again
