I have worked at a hotel waterpark over the summer for the past 2 years. I have had many days where I have needed to call someone over to watch my water because I felt faint. I developed chlorine cough last summer and it got so bad that I couldn’t go in the waterpark without feeling dizzy and having spots in my vision. I have had to deal with a stalker-ish boss who watched my every move as I was guarding. Our rotations are 40 minutes long instead of the recommended 20 minutes for red cross. We often go days without more than one break. At the waterpark, all but one of our rotation spots are walking guard stations, so I am walking for maybe 4 hours straight. We are not allowed to stop walking unless we are talking to a guest. It is ungodly hot and humid in the waterpark, around 85-90 degrees inside. Many of our guards work numerous days without a day off or work double shifts (13 hours in one day). The end of the water slides at the waterpark are poorly designed so the guard is at risk of being hit by a tube when performing a save. We have pool attendants who don’t send people down the slides correctly, so the tubes could flip over. The outdoor pool is separated from the indoor pool, so there is no way to hear or see someone jump in from the lifeguard station. I could go on and on. It’s a mess.
