I thought this story merited its own thread, since while it's not sucky, just amusing, it's still something that I wanted to discuss.
OK, I've mentioned the kid before: she's the Girl who refused to participate in a Level 3 class with Male Instructor for god knows what reason. Her parents aren't angry at him, they're forcing HER to get in the pool with him.
(he runs a class of 5 and is with another instructor who is learning that same class)
Well, she made a reappearance tonight. In a...very interesting way.
Somehow she managed to convince both her dad AND the deck supervisor that she was NOT with that instructor and instead taking a Level 2 class. Unfortunately, at this point in time, we had one of the newest 4-year-olds. (kid was on his second lesson)
So the poor instructor I was with was conducting both a Level 1 AND Level 2 class at the same time. Poor kid was confused. Girl was quite happy.
That is, until Male Instructor looks up and realises just exactly what's going on.
"Hey wait a minute, is that Girl?"
Me and Female Instructor: "Yeah."
"She's meant to be in Level 3 class."
Me:
Female Instructor:
So Girl was not-so-happily popped over to the Level 3 class, where she actually participated. Fortunately she'd been working on her freestyle arms so there wasn't too much she'd missed out on.
I'd about it later in the showers with the other girls.
As for other highlights tonight, I discovered that Finding Nemo makes for a great distraction when trying to get a timid child to swim on his back. (Except I could only remember NEmo and Peach. Next time I'm going to start singing the Dory song)
