Jr. Lifeguard


Thomas has been going to Jr. Lifeguard for the last three weeks. It's a physically demanding camp where lifeguard rescue techniques are taught with fun and plenty of competition. Last Friday it was parent participation day. Chris joined in for the tough workout.
They did a lot of running along the beach...
and through the water.
And there were plenty of push ups and sit ups.
And crawling through surfboard tunnels.

Only to exit and have cold ocean water dumped on your head.

There was a long jump competition in which the Foulger boys proved that just because you have short legs doesn't mean you can't leap like a gazelle.


After a short break it was time to perform a rescue. Thomas went first and then it was Chris' turn to rescue Thomas.
The last competition of the morning was the ball toss. Everyone lays down and when the instructor yells go they all stand up, turn around and fight for tennis balls. Each heat two unlucky participates came back from the water without a ball.
It was like watching a bunch of dogs chase after their beloved ball. Very funny.
And what was Jack doing while Thomas and Chris were doing the workout...
Not much.
