being a lifeguard is all about spinning the whistle lanyard around your finger. Imagine if you didn’t spin the whistle. You have to spin the whistle!

Growing up the teenage lifeguards spinning the whistle felt like *the height* of sophistication and cool

What else are you gonna do? Its pretty easy to spot a sinker, especially in a pool. From experience.

Spin is life. Otherwise you're just a regular guard.
