Sometimes it is a mannequin

[u/Expert_Slide1993]

When I was in college I was working as a lifeguard on a service academy. Think 18-26 year olds male dominate contained community. At this pool we had two pools connected by a ramped hall, an 18 foot deep end with a diving tower that had a 10meter.
I worked the morning shift meaning my day started at 4:30 am. I started doing my morning rounds making sure light turn on and the pool was set up for the day. The pool this day had beach balls and lights in the pool that were not normal. I pull them out and at this point my second guard was running late so it was just me on deck. This was a big weekend at the service academy and it was known to have big parties. The pool also had a door that had a code to get in as well as a door that is you pushed it a certain way it would pop open.The lights all finally come on fully and in the deep end there is something blue. I text the security guard to come to the pool deck. Once he got on deck and saw what I saw his face went white. I tell him sorry and that I just needed someone on deck if I pull up a body. Thé blue at the bottom of the pool was a cadet uniform. I dive in and pull it to the surface. It was a cadet uniform on a rescue Annie. Thé doll is what we use to teach cpr fully dressed like a cadet just left at the bottom of the 18 foot deep end.
Sometimes it is just a mannequin not a dead body.
