Impressed with lifeguard

Today we visited Holiday World.

I had not been there for about 10 years. I brought a nephew, son and two grandchildren.

My nine-year-old nephew is fearless. I took him to the Bahari wave pool. Of course, he heads for the six-foot mark and of course is much shorter.

When I realized he wasn't going to stop, I started out after him. As I got within about 20 feet of him, I saw him panic and called out to him.

Your lifeguard Matt was on it. He had seen Tanner coming and was already watching. Matt blew the whistle and threw up his arm. He waited until Tanner was halfway back to the edge with me and much more comfortable before he allowed everything to resume.

I turned and yelled thank you. He merely nodded and continued his job.

Quite an amazing young man.

After watching him, I realized he knew where every person on his side of the peninsula was.

I must say, I did not pay for anything and not be asked if I was having a good time.

The boys bought hats with their names. Your employees greeted them, calling them by name. They thought it was so cool!

Thank you for a wonderful time. You do have an exemplary staff. It is quite obvious you set very high standards and those employees have no problem meeting their goals.

Sincerely,

Jenny G.
