As I was saying, I decided to go swiming at the staff club pool. Since Mum's a member, i can do that anytime. The club pool is just beside the lagoon front, and I strolled towards the entrance, lifting my head to feel the breeze whip past my ears (I love to do this), when I heard a scream. I walked all the way to the lagoon front, and was shocked to see two boys drowning.
Honestly, they were drowning and the currents of the lagoon was taking them farther away from the water's edge. The funniest part was that people were standing there, watching!
I mean it. People were watching as these boys struggled with the currents. I reacted as I came closer to the edge - I removed my gown and swung it on a nearby tree, removed my slip-ons, and watch, put the watch into one of the shoes, and put it by the tree. I took a deep breath, and tried to calm myself down, then dove in.
Ten minutes later, I had handed over the weaker boy to someone on the shore, and swam back for the other one.
It was all over in thirty minutes. The boys were coughing, and spurting out water, and a big black man was trying to make calls to someone on his cell phone for help. The crowd had gathered by then, and another guy kept shouting that everyone not crowd over the boys.
My work was done. I picked up my shoes, grabbed my gown and walked away.
