pregnant lifegaurd?

Just wondering what everyone thinks. I work at the YMCA as a camp counselor and one of the lifegaurds who works there watching our kids is pregnant. I mean very noticable pregnant like maybe 6 months or so?

I know its not right to judge who is right for a job or anything. But the other counselors and I were talking about how unsafe we thought it was. For her, her baby and anyone she is watching in the pool.

What is your take on this?

I forgot, everyone is supposed to agree on everything here.

I would be nervous with a lifegaurd that far along and I do not think I would allow my kids to swim while she was the only one on duty. If there was another one along with her it would be different. Pregnant women just are not at the top of their game. Its hard to pull a body out of a pool and I cant imagine having to do it with a big ole belly.

What did you say??

Interesting debate...

I would fear for the safety of the lifeguard and I would watch my kids a bit more closely...

I would let them swim but I think I would be more careful with them in the water..

Are there regulations on this?

if I were there I would not mind but I was thinking about katie's situation and thought parents wouldnt be there because is a YMCA thing

I would think that for her own safty, such as something happening and her drowning, they wouldnt allow a woman that far along to be a lifeguard. I mean what happens if a kid accidently kicks her stomach really hard. Or she dives and hits the bottom of the pool.

I think thats far to dangerous. And I wouldnt allow my kids to swim while she was on duty.

I don't have children so this may be a silly question but is it safe for the baby if she had to jump into a 12ft. (or however deep) pool to save a child?

My thoughts exactly. And I know from experience my best friend who is expecting, is much more tired, and fatigue sets in with her very early on in the day. I wouldnt think it would be smart for her the baby, or the children in the pool.
