Hemisphere's New Lifeguard

I am not very active on Tumblr. If you'd like to get in touch with me, you can find my info over on Tyrnn. Thank you!

Good morning, everyone! Today, I thought I would share a glimpse into a day of my job. I am a lifeguard at Tropic Falls OWA, which is ranked the #3 best indoor water park in the world! There is a little kids' section with 5 little slides, various water attractions, and a huge dump bucket: it is called Tuki after the OWA mascot, which is a Toucan. Inside, there is also a lazy river called the Creek. Lastly, inside there are 6 major waterslides, 2 of them have double tubes so you can go with someone, one of them is a 3-person lane racing slide where you use mats, and the other 3 are just body slides. One of the body slides is just a basic fast, twist and turn slide, another has a 75ft drop right into the pool, and finally, one you stand on a drop board and it counts you down like you are in a rocket and the floor falls from under you and you drop, and then it turns to a normal curvy slide. The drop one is my favorite because I love the adrenaline rush and the feeling like I am flying. I am not very scared of heights and have skydiving on my bucket list! I also love roller coasters. While the inside has a lot to do, outside we have a huge wave pool and a coastal surfing stimulator. There are also lots of places for food and drinks! We work 9-4:15ish. The first hour is my favorite part because we get to test out the slides, play hacky sack, hot seat, and just have fun with each other before the park opens at 10, then from 10-3:30ish we are at different posts watching guests, making sure the slides are being used properly, telling kids to walk, and scanning water. Some spots we sit at, some we stand in the water, and others we walk at, so it is fun to have variety and makes the day go by faster. I walk anywhere from 6 to 10 miles a day at work. The kids always leave us with lots of laughs, too. It is so fun getting to work with a ton of different people from difference campus here at Kaleo and growing in their faith, we have formed such strong friendships around the most important value in our lives!
