Lifeguards or Whistle Blowers?

Took the kids to the local swimming pool today. Had a bit of a lay in so missed the family session and went to the general swim session.
It's not the best pool we've ever been too but it's local and cheap. There were a four bigger boys there, probably aged about 16yr old ish. Anyway these boys had no consideration for any one else in the pool. All they were doing were chasing each other and play fighting but quite aggressively.

Anyway the reason I'm writing this is because of the lifeguards. There were two of them on duty, who as far as I could tell could not speak! They only had the capacity to blow a whistle. Every time these boys would do something they shouldn't all these voiceless lifeguards would do is blow their stupid whistle at them!
Now, is this a deterrent? I seriously think not! Was it working? No! After the first few times of trying, surely it would have made sense to pull these lads aside and have a few words. The words being, behave or you're out! Simples!

But no! They carried on with the whistle blowing. I could see that the voiceless lifeguards were getting annoyed with them, but surely common sense would prevail. Well it didn't. As I have learnt over the years common sense is something very few people have! All in all we were there for about an hour and a half and the boys left not long after us! Typical!

Whilst we were there as well part of the pool was closed as there was a lifeguard training course going on. I do hope that these trainees can speak. It also makes me wonder if they get taught how to blow a whistle.........

My Dilemma.......

Though I'd give this blogging malarkey a go as even my mother is doing it!!! Not sure what to talk about, can't really use it to moan about work which I would love to do.

I am having a bit of a dilemma at the moment however. I recently joined a Ladies running club on Wednesday nights at Stanwick Lakes. Its free, just a group of ladies all shapes, ages, sizes and abilities running together. Now I do actually have a treadmill which sits in my front room and takes up lots of space. But I do use it when i can. Its not used as my friend uses hers for, a coat rack!! Anywho, as it is now dark and there are no lights at Stanwick, we can no longer run there at night. So we will be running somewhere else. Also they want to run on saturdays. But both my hubby and I work so its gonna be difficult to make Saturdays.

Now, my kids swimming instructor wants to do an adult course doing swimming, aqua jogging and aqua circuits, also on a Wednesday night. Which I really want to attend. Ideally I would do the swimming on a Wednesday night and running on a Saturday. BUT, I have to flippin' work Saturday mornings. My Hubby has offered to change my shift (as he is in charge!), but that would mean him changing as well. So he would then have to do a close, finishing at 11.30pm and then an open on Sunday morning, starting at 6am. I said no as its not fair and I love him to much to make him do it. As much as I really want to do the above.
Sooooo what to do...................?
