Guess who had a paid orientation at her new job today?

Yes, it’s official. My daughter is now a swim instructor at the Y. She got her cute little red shirt that says Lifeguard on the back. As well as a stack of papers to read.

Her best friend is a lifeguard in another state. She says her job involves sitting and staring, opening and closing the pool. Not much swimming. My daughter will actually get in the water and tread a lot when the little ones venture to the deep end.

Not bad for someone who pretended like she hated swimming. I’m trying really hard not to gloat.
