I lifeguarded throughout my teens. Definitely a good first job. However, almost 20 years on, I have difficulty turning off my sense of vigilance at pools/bodies of water. It’s not that I can’t enjoy pools or swimming, but you’ll see me scanning and silently counting heads, secretly sorting other swimmers by swim level, and quietly scooting over closer to where the kids are maybe getting a little too deep for their own good.
