exercise felt good and spin class was great. in spin class, the majority of the riders prefer some of the older spin bikes and i have ridden an older spin bike for the last several years. the gym has some new spin bikes that are by the same manufacturer but the resistance adjustment on the bike is slightly different. as the number of class members has grown, we sometimes run out of the older bikes. today, i decided to start riding one of the newer bikes and learn how to adjust the resistance so the older bike i was riding would be available to others

woke up at 230a and slept lightly until 300a then got up

work went well. my coworker was on time and we had a couple of swimmers early and then a lull and then around 9a we had a water aerobics class and a new lifeguard class. one of the lifeguard class students was swimming the 150 meter pre-requisite swim and had difficulty in the middle of the pool. she stopped making swim progress and started calling for help. i entered the water, swam to her, floated her on the lifeguard rescue tube and swam pulling her to the side of the pool. the lifeguard class instructor assisted me in getting the student out of the water and onto the deck. it's my first time doing a deep water save where i had to enter the water and it went well. my supervisor and another experienced lifeguard both said i did well
