Waterparks for non-swimer
I was just wondering what other non-swimmers do at the water parks. Perviously I've always gone w/out a life jacket or anything because I learned that the "pool" that you get dumped into at the end of the slides is not very deep.
However, I feel like I'm constantly getting yelled at by the lifeguards. When you get dropped in the pool at the end of (some) of the slides, everyone else starts swiming to exit the pool area, I however have to get my footing, stand up and begin walking (thru the water) to the exit area (which ya'know how long it takes to try to walk/run in a pool!). So literally, at the waterparks I get reemed out about 10-15 times a day by the lifeguards telling me to go faster in getting out. (don't get me wrong, I'm not critizing them, I know they need to clear people out of the way for safety's sake but I don't know what they expect me to do, I literally can't get out of the water any faster that I'm currently doing)
I was wondering what others do. Do you wear a life jacket? I know they have them there and I've consittered wearing one, but I actually don't konw if that will impare me more so. I mean, life jacket or no life jacket I still can't swim, so will now floating while trying to get my footing and walk out of the pool be even slower than before? Or do you think would it be helpfull?
Just wondering what others do. Thanks!
Just continue what you do
Having been a non-swimmer for a long time (I was afraid of the water without my glasses/contacts, wouldn't put my face in the water, I would say just be like a duck and let it (yelling) roll right off your back. You know you are doing the best you can, ignore them.
Also, I have not seen that kind of behavior at WDW water parks. At WaterWorld (Denver), sure, but not from CMs.
