Everyone in the gym wears a mask (mandated in our state in the gym) however, one of the guards spent most of the hour I was swimming in the chair (in between breaks) with the mask off, unless she had to speak to the other guard. She's taken short mask breaks in the past, but this was ridiculous. All member have to wear the mask in the gym, while working out, on the deck, etc. and an employee of the fitness center doesn't. I'm surprised the other "main" guard has let this go, since he never removes his mask.
People are on edge. This original topic has disgressed. I have to say that I was swimming in a college pool where there was a guard on each side of the lap lanes. At the end of lap swim, a drowned man was discovered under the bulkhead. How did the guards miss that? These were excellent guards, who never kept their eyes off the pool. Todays' guards are eating, chatting, taking breaks, looking at their cell phones. It's sad. They don't realize how important their job is.
One time while swimming, a handicapped man in the next lane was str4uggling, grappling with the lane line, etc. I pulled him up from under while the guard stood and watched.
The topic of my post is a guard who keeps her mask off for long periods. A s woman in the lane next to her chair was cramping badly and hanging on to the wall. The guard asked if she was ok, the woman said no. The guard didn't do a thing.
Sorry about this getting off topic, Renie. I've been on the forums for over ten years now, and this happens often!
The unprofessional behavior of the guards you describe is unacceptable, to say the least. Where is management? Perhaps a complaint should be filed, because they may be completely unaware this is going on.
