Do gym pools usually have lifeguards?

[ThisIsPoppyTime]

Can anyone who goes to a gym with a pool answer a strange question?

I met a guy OLD, I'll call him Mr Hoff. 7 long dates in. All is good. Only a niggle of doubt whether I should sleep with him soon hangs on something bizarre. (I've been here before and met a guy, waited a while and the sex was, let's just say not the best!).

Mr Hoff says and has always said he is a Lifeguard. Do gyms even have Lifeguards? If this isn't true, it makes me question other stuff.

TIA!

Some do, some dont it depends on the gym

Both my subscription gym and local leisure centre pool always have a lifeguard on duty.

Mine does, yes.

Thanks. Looks like I'm doubting him too much then.

I’ve only seen them at leisure centre pools, however if you don’t trust him including other stuff that is making you question him being genuine, then believe in yourself and how you feel, it’s never a good to overlook doubt, I’d get out now before you feel too invested in him.

I’ve never been to a gym that didn’t have a lifeguard.

That said, this is a super weird thing to get hung up on. If someone told me they were a lifeguard at a gym, it wouldn’t even occur to me to question that. I mean it’s not like he’s saying he’s a barrister. 😂 Who would lie about being a lifeguard at the local gym to impress someone?!

I would question if this is your gut telling you something is off. I mean, I don’t think it’s this. But your instincts are throwing up something here.

I belong to a Nuffield gym and there are no lifeguards.

I've never been to a gym pool without a lifeguard...

But if you're questioning this, he's either done something that has made you question everything; or you are questioning everything anyway and you're not mentally in the right place for this.

Either way, exit stage left. This isn't for you.

Ours has lifeguards!

I go to a Nuffield and an Everyone Active and both pools are not open unless there is a lifeguard present.

My large commercial gym has multiple lifeguards (2 pools).

My gym has lifeguards

My Nuffield does! Maybe it depends on the size of the pool.

If you don’t trust him on this, then I think there’s something much bigger that’s off.

Mine does.

David Lloyd has lifeguards.

My Bannatynes doesn't.

My virgin active gym does.

My gym is the same, pool can't be used unless a lifeguard is present

Mine does. But like others said, why are you getting so hung up about this? Are there other issues?

My gym pool has a lifeguard for family swim sessions

My son's friend is a lifeguard at my local Nuffield gym

I’ve never been to a gym that DOES have lifeguards…

If you don’t trust him, you need to end this.

It must depend on the sessions then? I don’t see lifeguards when I swim, but I avoid any times when kids might be swimming.

It depends on the depth of water in the pool
My gym doesn’t
