Teachers, Swimming pool and Kids: Teaching moment

Teaching moment

By poolboy - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I was working as a swim instructor for kids. Teaching them not to be afraid of the water, I put my face in the water and blew bubbles. I asked them to try it. All of them did, except for one. I went right to him and blew bubbles again. He then said to me, "But I just peed in that water." FML

Today, while working as a lifeguard, a kid took a dump in the pool. When I told everyone to clear the pool so we could clean it, another kid promptly stared at me, stood at the shallow end right where I was standing, pulled down his trunks, and peed on my feet. FML

Today, I was lifeguarding a pool party for a bunch of eight year-olds. One of them decided it'd be funny to have a contest to see who could make the most bubbles with their farts. It led to three kids shitting themselves in the pool, and me having the dubious honor of cleaning it up. FML

Today, I took my class to swimming lessons at the local public pool. One student came out and proudly told me that she'd pooed in the shower, but it was OK because she'd then picked it up and flushed it down the toilet. FML

Today, while working as a swim instructor, I started singing the hokey pokey to get all the kids used to putting their faces in the water. One of the kids was covering his ears. When I asked him why, he said "because you were singing." He's 3. FML

Today, while working my job as a swim instructor, my coworker sprayed me with the hose. I instinctively held up what I was holding to block the cold water. I was holding a 4 year-old. FML

Today, I had to go take swimming lessons because my mom has a fear I'll drown and I'm totally afraid of swimming anyway and never get anywhere near water. My instructor? A high school classmate of mine. My fellow swimming classmates? 5 and 6 year old kids. FML

Today, I farted in a public pool and watched in horror as bubbles of death gas floated up beside my son who started calling me the fart monster in front of everyone. FML

Today, I was working my lifeguard job when I had to remind a 17 year-old boy that water is clear and that I could see him pulling his trunks down to moon his friends. Kind of want to drown myself now. FML

#2 How does he deserve it? Oh I gotcha, OP teaches kids to swim so he deserves a face full of child piss....... But man that does suck. At least you were blowing bubbles and none of the water went in your mouth. Still pretty gross

#33: you are hilarious, and #42: you ruined it and you are probably lying. Damn, that sucks. But at least you don't have to swallow it. And apparently chlorine kills germs or whatever so hey. But still that is disgusting. Bwahah, kids. You love to hate them.

A little rash is better than freezing, but I have never got a rash from that.

It all sounds like a joke to me, but if its true, then FYL...however, I would like to know: A. How you didn't notice the child peeing, assuming they hadn't been into the water before then, B. How you didn't notice a difference in the colour/taste/smell of the water, and C. how the other kids apparently didn't react, at all

i swim and the entire team pees in the pool all the time. the chlorine kills it in like 7 seconds so its not even a big deal. definitely not a FML

The first thing my swim team does after we get in for warm up is go to the shallow end and pee...it's not a big deal. This FML should not be up.

okay number 58 the htought of a bunch of people peeing all at once in a pool kinda grosses me out. but of course we all pee every now and then just as we all pee in the shower everynow and then number 56 when a kid pees in water its unnoticable and knowing that if the op was standing far enough away when he peed she/he wouldnt of noticed the change in temp and the other kids prob didnt care. and in a pool you dont smell the pee
