There was a lifeguard at the community pool in my hometown who was berated by his own mom(she owned the place) for slacking off and ignoring the swimmers.
I like Mike Rowe’s Safety Third “philosophy” where the second priority is having fun -which reinforces the first priority of getting the job done. The third priority of safety reinforces both of the first two priorities.
On a serious note, lifeguards need to be trained on how to be lifeguards. You need to know how to save someone that is flailing around in panic, or they can knock you out.

Not a look which will necessarily inspire confidence to others at the pool.

He has the mandatory white stuff on his nose, so he is a professional. FL beaches do not allow floaties btw.

The only floaties in Florida waters are Mafia victims.

Supposedly, there is a shortage of lifeguards.

Norman should move those floaties up to his ears in order to keep his brain safe. Or what’s left of it.

He’s going to inspire confidence in every swimmer that sees him.

What happened to his job at Home Depot? Life guard is only a summer job.

When they hired him I guess they didn’t bother to check if he could swim.
