Code Brown

Just yesterday I worked the morning shift at work. It's 11:30-4:30, and everything went really smoothly. No one had to blow their whistle, I think I told only one kid to walk . . . overall it was a good morning.

I left when my shift was over, went home, showered, got dressed and realized I had to run back over to the pool to talk to one of my bosses. So my mom drove me over there, and as I walk into the pool, the Lazy River and the Baby Pool are completely empty. Everyone is crammed into the Competition Pool and every lifeguard (about 17-20 guards) is standing around the pool when usually there are only 2.

I'm walking over to my Head Guard to ask him where the manager is, and I hear a lady say

"Well the lifeguard said it was an intense code brown."

Yup, I know what that is, but 'code brown' has never evacuated every pool except for the Competition Pool.

Head Guard: "Oh, it wasn't just a code brown, it was like five code brown's from one kid, and it just kept spreading!"

I've come to realize that those swim diapers do not serve any purpose. They don't hold the pee in, and they definitely do not hold code brown in!
