Why would you want lifeguards to be strong swimmers? That is so old school...

More than 90 percent of the students at Alhambra High are black, Latino or Asian. On a recruiting effort there over the winter, the city's Melissa Boyle tells students she's not looking for strong swimmers. Like many under-resourced schools, Alhambra doesn't have a swim team. Notice the 'pity party' excuse?
It's not that their parents didn't give a damn about raising their kids - it's because their schools didn't have 'swim teams'...
IS THERE ANYONE here who learned to swim at school? Anyone? There are public pools in every city.... maybe the parents should get off their behinds and take their kids to free swim lessons or teach them themselves.
When the first child dies at one of these public pools attempting to be 'oh so inclusive' how will guilty white liberal idiots find a way to blame white people?

"The kids in the pool are all either Hispanic or black or whatever, and every lifeguard is white," she says, "and we don't like that. The kids don't relate; there's language issues." She has a point there. Water doesn't speak spanish.

If he is selected to be a lifeguard, other pool staff will work with him on his swimming skills all summer. what???? he gets to be a lifeguard BEFORE he actually has the skills? i see where this is going...

I thought the plan was to stop “resegregation”. Isn’t this an example? Why do black kids need a black lifeguard and mexican kids need a spanish lifeguard? What if the pool has some of both? Do they get 1 of each and each only watches over their own kind? Are they “separate but equal”? This is idiocy of a new and different kind, sort of a sense-resistant strain of idiocy that will continue to grow until we get the lead idiot away from the steering wheel.

I imagine that many folks in distress tend to grab upon anything and everything to stay afloat. That includes the folk your trying to save.
When I was in boy-scouts we were taught to avoid getting into the water and to take special precautions to avoid being taken under ourselves if we had to.
Of course it never hurts to be a strong swimmer
