Don't swim at amusement parks.

Up +60 Down

So, I used to work as a lifeguard last summer at this amusement park called Dorney Park in Pennsylvania. We would get a lot of people who didn't know how to swim so of course, every lifeguard would get a few saves every week. On the weekends and over holidays it would get really crowded and the wave pool would get so packed you couldn't see the bottom and by the end of the day the water would be so full of sweat, hairspray, and urine it would look like a foggy mixture of old dish water and vegtable oil. Also little kids, I'm assuming it's little kids, would take craps in the water and a lifeguard on break from guarding would have to put on their gloves to retrieve it and throw it away in a plastic bag. The way we would clean the water was to close the ride and let the water circulate a nice 25 minutes. If crap wasn't bad enough, women who were enjoying their time of the month, would lose their tampons, which we would then have to retrieve and dispose and let people continue to swim in the water 25 minutes later like nothing was ever wrong. The water there was pretty filthy, I loved not going in it an laughing at the people who were stupid enough to be swimming in the filth.
