Today, while taking part in a lifeguarding exercise, I was supposed to "drown" to get another guard to save me. After all was done, my boss called me into his office and screamed at me for "drowning the wrong way," and threatening our reputation. FML

How can an idiot such as him be your boss?

one does not simply drown the wrong way.

Ask him to give you an example of how to "properly" drown yourself xD

The way people drown is usually- the body going limp and sinking to the bottom of the pool, not this slashing about yelling "help". As a lifeguard, I would hope you know what signs to look for.

There are multiple types of drownings...there are active drownings where they can call for help and then there is passive which means they are not conscious anymore and there are injuries that cause drowning

Yeah OP! You weren't supposed to survive! I mean, come on...

This could also work as directions on how to jump.

Wouldn't your reputation be more threatened if you *did* drown the "right" way?

Wait..you can drown the wrong way?? *has a panic attack*

Next time, just drown better. Seriously, your boss is an ass. Good luck with your training. Nobody realizes how tough it is to be a lifeguard, until we need one.
