The Lifeguard
It ain't Baywatch. The uniforms are the same but Melmsford Swimming Pool is very different to Malibu. When I started training, I envisioned fishing out gorgeous babes full of gratitude and silicon. The truth is I'm more likely to be fishing out a plaster from someone's gullet because of a rogue wave from the adjacent lane and an ill-timed intake of breath.
