Guarding

By Genevieve Simon

Nine teenage lifeguards are stuck at work and it is the busiest day of the year. But this is much more than a job for these teens. Despite all the problems surrounding them, it is time to laugh, to gossip, to discover and to stay cool. It’s almost like talking with your friends at your lockers but with water! However, they can not forget that no matter what, their top priority is the safety of the pool guests, even if you forget your sunglasses… or someone stole from the safe… or your ex is lifeguarding next to you… or a 45 year old yells at you after they get caught running on the side of the pool… UGH! These lifeguards are all faced to weigh the importances of their problems, one floatie at a time.
