    Do you think at your age you should be confessing to that, really?😱

    The outdoor pools at clubs sites are heated to 30C.

    I don't "do water", never have, probably never will, but I'm pretty sure that if I got into difficulties and needed rescuing the last thing on my mind would be whether the rescuers were male or female and how much/little they were wearing! yell

    Yes, I was just trying to restore the gender balance on here. smile

    I do like water and have used the pool at Hillhead so I would be miffed to find a pool closed. I wonder why the club have given up in their lifeguard search.

    Thank you. Are there many other Club sites with swimming pools now that the one at Looe is closed? Is it 3 out of 200 sites? All open air?

    Well, not quite sure what exactly floats your boat, but the flumes and slides indoors often turned into a peepers dream. Many a bikini top, and the odd Budgie smuggler went adrift🤣

    Brue, Lifeguards love a team, it can get extremely boring waiting for something to happen, indoors or out. But it’s all systems go when it does. No idea how large Club pools are, so not sure how many Lifeguards would be required. Depends on other hazards as well.

    Some beaches have had a Lifeguard presence for decades. As a small child, we occasionally visited Rhyl in North Wales (we had relatives who lived in Blaenau Ffestiniog). I can recall the beaches there were patrolled by Lifeguards on horseback, a couple of big strong swimming cobs, often seen wading out to drag back in the unwary.
