Haha yeah, it is difficult teaching kids how to swim because most fear the water quite a bit but once they're past that, it's great.
Haha yup definitely, they're heated to around 28 degrees, 30 in kids pools cos they get cold easy. A local pool has an outdoor pool but it is cold, you would probably catch pneumonia and that's with it closed off in winter haha. The heating broke in my work and it was unbearable to even go on poolside in lifeguard uniform (shorts and tshirt) never mind go in the water.

Yes, children can have so much fun in water once they have the confidence. Sounds like where you work was seriously cold today; it also sounds like you have a real commitment to swimming.
In Mexico there aren`t many public pools at all, and the ones they do have are mainly for controlled sports classes - of the kind you give, I imagine. If an adult just wants to turn up somewhere and splash around, they usually drive to the beach or join a club that has gym/pool/tennis facilities. Another popular option in the hotter parts of the country is to have a pool in your own garden, though most pool owners soon get bored with those and only use them for parties.

I'm 18, 5'11", 135 pounds. I've been nearly underweight my entire life, mostly due to a fast metabolism and light, unstructured eating habits.
In real life I'm quiet and serious around my family, silly and profane around my friends, and cautious and suspicious around people I don't know. I'm very polite, friendly and respectful in general, but have at least a slight level of contempt for almost everyone I know. In school, my best subjects are English and Art, and my worst is Math.

Yep. Probably because people are too bloody shallow to actual see my personality outside of a few silly adjectives, so I end up purposely playing a severely exaggerated caricature of myself, mostly because I find it to be deeply amusing for some reason.

I've had a clean up in this thread.
If you're just here to post Gifs, one liners or if you're just here to tell us how you're above answering the question properly then don't bother because it'll just be deleted. A lot of people are being open and honest in a way that is rare on this forum, so save your bullshit for somewhere else.
