#Swimming Instructors

[shadowstarkanada]

We always had different beginner classes for swimming. Kids beginner classes and adult beginner classes.

I mean, the kids were usually up on tables and you're convincing them they're not going to drown if they put their faces in the water. IIRC, adults usually had a lot harder time learning to float than most kids.

But not many adults signed up, so it was usually one class for adults and 5 classes for little kids.

You know what we need more of? Beginner’s classes for adults.

It’s supposed to be really, really good for you to keep learning new things as you age. It helps stave off strokes and dementia and Alzheimer’s and improves memory. And hey, learning stuff is fun.

But I really don’t want to be infantilized when I try to learn something. And I definitely don’t learn the way a child does. And honestly, what adult wants to be in the same class as children? Very few.

This occurred to me recently because I’d like to learn how to actually ice skate properly. My parents never signed me up for classes, because it wasn’t a thing they ever cared about or thought about. Now I’m in my twenties and want to learn, and also don’t want to be surrounded by a bunch of eight-year-olds who probably honestly skate better than I do. Because that’s embarrassing, and embarrassment is not how you learn.

Would it be good to lose the social stigma of being worse at something than a child? Yes. Hell yes. But we’ve got to start somewhere, and like I said: adults don’t really learn the way kids do, and a lot of people use these kinds of activities to make friends, and I don’t want to make friends with an eight-year-old, either.

So.

Beginner’s classes for adults. Let adults suck at stuff and learn how to get better and learn new things and broaden their horizons, while still being treated as adults. Classes for writing, for pottery, for chess, for art, for instruments, for singing, for sports, for chemistry. For everything, dammit.

I'd like sum old ocean grandpa High Tide in exhange of a small sacrifice pls,, your art is so goooooddd

Y’all I completely forgot what I labeled my ask box and was mildly terrified by the wording of this ask until I remembered LMAO

Anyway THANK YOU ANON and I am so sorry for taking literal months to answer this

Since it seems like Dani is the only scuba certified person in the Burns family, I think she and High Tide probably went on some deep sea rescues together

It's never specifically told so i'm wondering what you all think. Please write in the tags or comment why if you feel like it, even if simply because of vibe.

Personally i think it was Arek because of the 'Estraven the traitor' folktale. The history repeating itself and so on. And him being older just sounds more... i don't know... less obvious?

But then there is a passage in the book when estraven says that he's writing a letter to his son. Singular, which probably means he was writing to Sorve. (it would be werid writing to only one of his and Foreth's son, right?) He could be closer to him because unlike his sons with Foreth he was raised in his own clan. Or and this could be far fetched but maybe he's closer to Sorve because he bore him..? Dunno.

It doesn't really make sense because the book specifically says that the children are raised by community and it shouldn't matter.

But at the same time it also says that choosing a child, which you gave birth to (rather than your kemmering's children) as an heir is more common.

Idk if you've been asked this yet but if you haven't...

does the water park have underground tunnels? Like Disney level underground? Or not? because I know Disneyland uses them to allow cast members to get to their areas without being seen in clashing ones to "preserve the magic" and all that fun stuff (apparently they are longggg walks)

i was just curious if the park had them, and if so would underground races (literally) occur?

Hello hiiiiii @buzzybee3 !!!!!

Interestingly enough in a way the waterpark DOES have underground tunnels but not quite like what Disney has. It’s a water drainage system for all the slides and pools. This way if any “incidents” happen everything can be properly drained and sanitized, and the boys figured out a way to run a water reserve for these exact instances so the watery attraction can be up and running in no time. But everything is still regularly filtered and sanitized regardless, the reserve is just for emergencies. Nothing really for the boys to traverse the park in.

Walking around Sun, Moon and the Tikis freely roam the park as they please so in a way their always in character, but still fairly genuine. (no need for backstage paths) You bringing up cast members made me really want to dive into what life is like for the boys around WB:D

Im trying to think how best to describe Sun and Moon and their work vs leisure time around the park and resort … hmmmm

Though Sun and Moon co-own Waterspark Bay and split up the work, they do favor particular roles.

Sun: More of the financial and legal responsibilities, he handles the business side of running WB. (its all self taught, this stuff is very fun and interesting to him, which is great because it eats up a lot of his free time after park hours). Sun also makes a lot of the big decisions for the park, one example being the major reconstruction/renovations made to Waterspark Bay.

Moon: Very similar to a manager, he manages his team (the tikis) and schedules, the leader in the day to day operational decisions. Most things are reported to him (Moon is the behind the scenes leader, he does a lot of multitasking with meeting guest and park needs throughout the day) My boy is a stickler for safety and rules but having said that he knows how to break them. (What a hypocrite)

(Typing this I’m just now realizing the irony of Suns heavy working hours being at night while Moons is during the day… wow)

The Tikis fill the role of the employees; guest services, cleaning, maintenance, security, all the staff needed to fill those other roles in running a themepark and resort .

The boys still do a lot of guest interactions throughout the day though because they love it! This is where they started, this is the heart of everything they do, connecting with people and making their vacation as magical as possible. It’s the best way to find out what needs improving and to catch issues in need of quick fixes. They want to make that connection with you because it matters to them that you are enjoying yourself and making great memories.

As far as they’re concerned the money that comes from the park is money that goes into bringing a smile to your face!

…

Ok leisure

The boys do follow a schedule, but for the most part they walk around throughout the day wherever they feel they’re needed. They have the luxury to take a break whenever because they are comfortable and confident in the routine they built and if needed Sun and Moon could take an entire day off because the Tikis get the drill. (Moon would probably still be peeking at Tiki updates because he just can’t help it)

Yes even if they were on a break guests will still approach them wanting to talk, ask questions or take photos but they don’t mind they’re always happy to interact. (If the boys really wanted a break they know how to get it, empty resort rooms, in-between closed dinning hours, low guest traffic times, staff/maintenance areas etc.) but I would say they do most of the approaching to guests, people walk up to them maybe around 15 times a day which isn’t a lot. And guests typically don’t approach if Sun or Moon are currently talking to someone. *wink *wink

(Thank you so much for your questions and letting me ramble haha)

aaaaaaaaaaa I have an aptitude test for a tutoring job on Monday wish me luck

[beemovieerotica]

the wildest thing about my diving post was in the weird spiral of discourse, people who presumably skimmed both the original and the callout have been like "oh!! so it's fake, the story is fake, and stuff like that doesn't happen" which is...definitely a far more harmful takeaway than having overabundant caution about this sport. lmao

anyway i'm willing to take the L on badly explaining shit to power through to the fun part of a story. sorry about that.

not sure about those saying i intentionally lied for clout. besties this is tumblr. what clout. i don't even take tips or donations on this blog, i'm here to write porn for free
