I had one save where a little kid 7 yrs old who came to the pool with a camp and super excited. His group was supposed to put on life jackets, being they weren’t all regular swimmers. As the kids are getting ready, he just goes in. I don’t realize for a second and then turn around and see a look of pure terror in his eyes. He’s thrashing about and sinking. I jump in and lift him to the side. He couldn’t believe what happened and was not a happy camper.

We had to ask a woman to leave once do the the fact she was wearing nothing, i mean nothing but a white T-shirt. All the little kids noticed before the crew did

We had a resident locker thief for a while, and we all knew who it was, but needed evidence. We caught the f*ck-head by setting up a sting, rigging a locker with visible cash and alarm. He tried to jet but everyone was outside waiting for him.
