Anyway, I got over it until tonight at the beginning of class when there was a very excited Grandma w/ her camera. She began clicking pictures left and right and I waited for someone to tell her to stop. After a few minutes, and no requests from a dutiful lifeguard, I asked the instructor if we were allowed to take pictures. She said she had no idea why we couldn't. I told her about my husband being asked not to and wondered allowed if it was b/c he was a man. She thought it was odd and then asked her male boss and he said that for sure pictures were allowed...after all it was a swim lesson and people LOVE to take pictures of their kids. (I mean, don't get me wrong, I know why you can't go to the gym and just take pictures of random kids in the pool.) So my conclusion is that a little bit of sexism was practiced and because my husband is a MAN, he was asked NOT to take pictures during swim class. Maybe they thought he looked sketchy too, what do you think?
Um...NO!
So look forward to some pictures from swim....

Wow. People are idiots. I am still having issues. I may need your help again. I will call you soon. I don't know Luke is pretty sketchy, ok, not so much. I would have been pretty pissed myself.
Seriously? Oh, that life guard has to get a life!
Definitely sketchy... I wouldn't trust him :)
Yeah, your husband looks like a real perv. ;-) Come on, that is just nuts! I can't believe someone would tell you that you can't take a picture of your own child!
Well, I'm glad we'll get to see some pictures of swim class now. I didn't take any of Rylie last year because she was screaming bloody murder the whole time and I didn't want a reminder of that! LOL
Happy Birthday to your husband!
That is too funny!!!! I'm a lifeguard at our local gym and it's a rule that we don't allow people to take pictures, but if it's for their kids swim lessons, I ALWAYS let them. It's pretty obvious when the picture is being taken for a good purpose :)
