The Pool Girls - Part 2/6

[Bill Thane 365]

I wandered out of the change rooms and onto the pooldeck, slipping through the throngs of children and parents to make my way towards the staff areas. Peaking into the staff room, I recognized a couple of the girls who'd been in there last week, but neither Paige nor Andrea were in there. Doubling back to the supervisor's office, I spotted Andrea through the window, sitting at a computer. Like last week, her fit body was clothed in a dark red supervisor's swimsuit, nicely matching her tanned skin. I knocked at the door and caught her eye through the window.

As she stood to let me in, I noticed how dark her chair was. It must have been absolutely soaked, the faded blue fabric nearly black and glistening at the sides. "Hey, don't tell me you had to jump in and save someone already today, huh?" I said, half-jokingly. Andrea laughed, "Thankfully no, I don't even have to get in the pool till noon. Anyway, I thought I'd put you with a younger class today, have you work with Leanne and the salamanders." I nodded, salamanders were a level that usually has 3-6 year olds, a big change from yesterday. Dismissing me, Andrea returned to her desk. "Leanne's in the staff room, go get introduced and class starts in a few minutes."

"Hey, Leanne? I'm Bill, Andrea wants me to shadow you for your next class," I said, stepping into the staff room. One of the girls looked up at me from her cellphone. "Bill? Cool, okay, let's go. We're in the kiddie pool for this." Leanne was one of the girls I'd seen last week, though we'd not been introduced. She wore the same skintight navy blue swimsuit as the other instructors, and her jet black hair fell just past her shoulders. She wasn't quite as tall and slim as Paige, but rather a more athletic build. Several tattoos adorned her body, a viper on her calf being the most striking. Her appearance was nothing short of intimidating.

As we reached the pool, the class had already gathered by the edge, their parents standing with them. "Hey kids! So good to see you all! Oh my god Janice your new swimsuit is so cute!" As she welcomed the class, I saw a totally different side of Leanne, her bubbly teacher personality completely offsetting her foreboding image. "Alright, let's all hop on in. Oh, and everyone, say hi to Bill. Bill's going to be helping us today, maybe he'll even show us a new game if you're nice to him!" Leanne turned to me as the class clambered into the pool, and whispered, "Don't worry, it's just red light green light - I haven't done it with them yet."

The kiddie pool was much warmer than the regular pool, and time seemed to fly by working with Leanne. She was amazing with the kids, always encouraging and friendly, and brilliant at incorporating games and songs into the lesson. Watching her handle the children I saw her own youthful beauty shine through, her smile radiant even as splashes from one student plastered her hair across her face. She had endless patience, just laughing as she swept her hair back and reached out to keep the kid's feet underwater. 

With only a few minutes left in the class, Leanne got everyone's attention. "Okay kids, great work today! You all did really well, and we have time for one more game before the end of class. And it's going to be extra special, because this is a game that only Bill knows! He's never shared it with anyone else, but you guys are going to get to play it now." I waded forward on my knees in the shallow water. "Leanne's right, this is a very special game, and I want to see you all do your best to show me how good you are at swimming. First, I need you all to sit up on the edge of the pool, and keep your feet in the water." Leanne and I helped lift the kids up before I continued, "Awesome, okay, now the game is called red light, green light. When I say green light, you need to kick your feet and splash as much as you can! And when I say red light, you need to stop kicking. Whoever splashes the most wins, but only when I say green light!"

I moved back, staying in the shallows so the water was just up to my waist while kneeling, but far enough from the edge to be out of splash range. Leanne came up beside me. "Green light!" I yelled, splashing my hands in the water to get the kids going. "Red light!" A pause. "Green light!"

Looking to my side, I saw Leanne had gotten close to me. "This is my favourite game," she said, her tone no longer bubbly, rather teasing almost. "Red light!" I yelled. "Just a shame the water's so warm already..." Leanne murmured, sliding closer to me, her body just behind me now. 

"Green light!" I heard a quiet sigh from Leanne. "Red light!" "Green light!" A warm current teased my toes, I let myself slid deeper into the water. "Red light." "Green light!" The current grew stronger, a jet flowing over my heel and dissipating its heat over my calf. My eyes widened, I turned to Leanne. She seemed focused on the kids. I looked down. Through the wavy water I could see Leanne's hand between her legs, her swimsuit pulled off to the side. "Red light!" Her fingers relaxed, letting the fabric slide back into place. The current had stopped. "Green light!" Once again my toes were bathed in a gentle current of warmth, no longer the hard jet. 

A moment later, Leanne shuffled up beside me. Leaning over, she whispered, "I'm done. Did you like my splashes?"

"Red light!" I called out. "Wow, you guys did an amazing job, I think you all splashed enough to be winners today! Leanne, anything else for today?"

Leanne stood up to take the kids back to their parents. "Nope, that's it! Bill, you want to take the boys here back to their dad?" 

I could see the glint in her eyes as she said it. "Uh, looks like you've got things under control, I'll just clean up the toys in here." There was no way I was getting out of this pool in front of all those kids and their parents, not in these loose swim trunks...
