The Hurricane City Pool hires 14-year olds during the summer to act as swim aides. Swim aides don't actually teach swim lessons but help the swim teacher and be a second set of eyes in the pool with the little swimmers. Maxine REALLY wanted this job! We found out about it and made a resume. I made her dress up in her Sunday best for her interview, which she said was completely unnecessary. *raised eyebrow* I said, "We don't know people at the pool, or city of Hurricane. You have to show these people that you want this job more than any other person. You show up to an interview looking professional. I don't care if it's for turning hot dogs, you need to look nice. It will make an impression." Maxine got the job!!
Maxine got sunburned like crazy for the first 2 weeks. Merril and I made her wear this hat, which is super doofy, but kept her face from getting sunburned.
These are the other kids that swim aided.
Update: I asked Maxine about her job later and she said, "It was a lot of work but it was a good first job! And I liked the people that worked with me for the most part." Bonus: She made a ton of cash over the summer, which was a lot of fun! She went to the mall and bought Converse high tops with her own new debit card, because Mom is too cheap to buy them for her. :)
