Baby Sitting
I think I've been called on to be a baby sitter, from time to time, since I was about 12. But today the tables were turned. I think I was being babysat! At Aquarobics today, the person who filled in for the instructor was one of the members of the swim team. She pulled up a chair close to the edge of the pool and half heartedly supervised us.
At first she read a list of the aerobic exercises we were to do, then the ab work, and then she gave up. She had no clue what to do about the weights or the exercise at the edge of the pool.
Basically, she was there to make sure we didn't drown, which wasn't a very high probability. Once one of our class members slipped out of her noodle while she was in the deep water, but another one of the students who was close grabbed her and helped her to the edge of the pool. And one other time, a woman who was in Alzheimer's Disease got confused and forgot how to swim and needed to be helped. That's the only two times any of us needed help and today was no exception. She had an easy baby sitting job.
