The life guard/pool keeper however kept a good watchful eye of over the youngsters at the swimming pool.
There was several boys and girl in at the shallow end and several were at the deep end.
It was really beginning to get quite hot.
The youngsters were having such a good time enjoying the cool swimming pool, that was kept cool by a special cooling system that was built into the swimming pool itself.
James got a sudden idea as he so clearly wanted to just simply dive onto the pool.
There were several benches placed for people to sit down, and watch the youngsters swim.
James went over to the boys changing room.
It was an outbuilding that had changing cubical inside.
it had lockers and showers too.
James went inside and looked for a spare cubical to go and change in.
However, they were all used.
James came back out again, his head hung low.
James looked at the ones that were at the shallow end of the swimming pool.
They were really enjoying themselves.
He wanted to so much, just to get into that pool.
The heat was almost becoming unbearable.
James finally decided to just simply take off his T-Shirt, his trainers, and his socks.
He was about to go up to the pool and dive in.
However, the lifeguard had gotten off his chair and grabbed hold of James’s arm.
“Say, what do you think you are doing ?”
James looked around and he uttered in a whimpering tone.
“I was only going to go for a swim.”
The muscle-bound hunk lifeguard did not look too impressed.
“No swimming kit and towel, no use of the pool, got that.”
“Yes sir.” Replied James nervously.
The lifeguard did not let go of his arm.
“Put your clothes back on and either go over to watch these kids swim, or get the Hell out of here.
” James was let go to let him put his T-Shirt back on, his socks and his trainers.
James made his way towards a bench near to the deep end of the swimming pool.
There were two boys and four girls that were close together in the pool.
They all watched as James sat down on the bench and began to cry.
Suddenly one of the boys from that group of kids in the swimming pool got out and he approached James.
“Hello there. My name is Simon… Hey, don’t cry mate, tell me your troubles, I might be able to help.”
James looked up and saw a boy with short blonde hair and blue eyes.
“Oh, thank you, my name is James.”
“So why are you so upset James?”
James began to explain.
But his voice faulted.
The girls in the swimming pool had come a little closer so they could hear James’s response.
To their surprise, but equal delight, James suddenly sounded more like a little girl of 2 years old.
“Me want to go swimming in the pol, but the pool keeper won’t let me, as me has no swimming clothes.”
Simon tried hard not to smirk or laugh.
The girls in the pool began to chitter to each other, giggling.
Suddenly one of the girls called Simon over.
“Oh Simon, can we talk to you for a moment.”
Simon looked at them.
He could tell that the girls had already a plan of some kind.
He smiled and patted James on his shoulder affectionately.
“I fink I might be able to help you there James.
Wait here.
I won’t be long, my friends need me.”
“OK.” Replied James between girlish sobs.
Simon walked over towards the girls into the pool.
They began to talk in a low whisper to each other.
One girl was James’s age, she was the oldest.
Next to her was a girl she looked a year younger.
The other two girls looked younger still.
