Harrison helped the lifeguards at the end of the summer last year which, in his mind, meant that he was a lifeguard in training this year. Thank goodness we have very nice people in charge of the pool who have allowed Harrison to live his best life at the pool.
He's only allowed to "work" when the head lifeguard is on duty and when the pool is not at capacity. He gets to help with most of the lifeguard duties like cleaning the pool
and helping to test the chemicals.
Sometimes he gets to sit in the lifeguard chairs.
He also gets to hangout in the staff only areas on break.
He feels useful and important and loves every minute of it.
I love that we still live in a world where people care about making an eight-year-old happy. Only seven years to go until he can be official.
